CI132 and SSS: Halloween card

Hello!

Sharing a Halloween card using K and Company's Spooktacular stack.

I distressed the edges of the purple mat for some texture.

I cut out the sentiment and spider out of extra paper and raised them with dimensional foam.

I added google eyes to Mr. Spider.

Such a cute variety of monsters in the stack of papers and the border strips.

Inspired by the Cupcake Inspiration challenge blog photo to mix and match them!

I am submitting this card into the following challenges:
Cupcake Inspiration #132: photo inspiration
Simon Says Stamp Challenge:  Halloween/Goth

I have attempted to make the kitties shown in the photo. 

I'll share them another time!   I must say, they aren't bad at all.

Actually look like kitties! 

Thanks for looking,

Kelly

The background was stamped with HA "Magical Background"

Clouds by Lawn Fawn stamped and cut out.

Ghosts and sun cut out of patterned paper in stack.

Added liquid pearls to the ghosts.

Banner stamped and cut out. 

Since ghosts don't have hands, I decided to tie the twine around

their bodies to "hold" the banner!

The banner and center flower are raised with a lower/smaller pop dot

and the "thank you" circle is popped with a higher/bigger one. 

I am using dimensional foam on about everything right now.  Love it!

The card features K and Co. "Spooktacular" paper stack

and Lawn Fawn's "Bannerific" and "Harold's ABC".

Five of the bats were cut out of the remaining patterned paper and raised

with dimensional foam pieces.  Using dimensional foam is my go-to technique right now.
I have been using a lot of patterned papers and popping pieces as well as other shapes! 

One silly bat as google eyes!

Happy Card Day!

I am not able to make any cards today, but I did help my son decorate an old plastic fireman's hat for his Crazy Hat Day coming up on Monday at school. 

The design was totally his!

My little Sony Cybershot died last week. 

I went shopping and came home with a Sony a55 DSLR and I am LOVING it. 

I am finally able to capture some sports moments. 

I practiced on the dog for several days. 

She got a new haircut last week.  We had never shaved her before.

I laughed for two days every time I looked at her, but I am getting used to it now. 

The groomer had to go shorter than planned to even her out b/c she was matted.

SO much less hair in the house!!

Before:

After shot with new camera: 

Hope you are gettin' crafty today!

Now that my new camera is up and running, I'll have lots of Halloween cards to share soon!
