Recently I discovered this very old Martha Stewart spider punch I'd forgotten I had! (too much schtuff obviously 😏) I had a few small snippets of black cardstock on my table, so I punched a few spiders and that's how this card began.
I used an older piece of neutral dsp and tore it into strips, using some brown chalk and a Q-tip to color the edges. I still have a bag of those big googlie eyes so I decided to use them along with the spiders. I took another snippet of black, placing the eyes first, then wrapping all those strips around them to look like a mummy/monster, then I die-cut the piece with a stitched tag die. I added a couple snippets of orange and black dsp for the background, and colored the spider's eyes with green, yellow, and orange glaze pens. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from SSS.
And here's the inside with a spider and another pre-printed sentiment.
I'll enter my card into these challenges:
Two Old Bats July Halloween Challenge - anything goes
the Snippets Playground Challenge #407 - must use snippets
Thanks for stopping by today and taking time to leave a comment. I do appreciate them very much, but I'm getting slower in responding unfortunately. Life is just throwing a lot of obstacles in my way lately and time has been getting away from me!
Have a fantastic weekend and take care!

A fun Halloween card Carol, loving the spiders and the mummy tag! I love the different color of the spider's eyes. lol The pattern papers you used are fabulous, I love Halloween/Fall papers. You made the inside as fun as the outside! Love it! Life is getting much more challenging with age and Covid isn't helping with making anything easy. I hope things get better soon for you! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange how cards come to life? Although I'm a bit squeamish with spiders I have to LOVE this card Carol, great texture with the torn paper and the wobbly eyes and of course those spiders, Super design Carol. Love the insert also.
