Krafty Halloween...

Hi everyone,

Get Crafty & use Kraft

And here's my card...

I started with a piece of watercolour card, and 'washed' it using Distress Inks, (Spiced Marmalade and Seedless Preserve), misted with water,  I then used a star mask and a black/purple texture paste by Creative Expressions to add interest to my background.  I created my aperture by die-cutting a circle from the centre of my card base (Neenah desert storm kraft card), and my background, and framed it using a thin kraft frame over a Spellbinders, 'Eyelet Circle' die-cut.  I also added  a dusting of glitter to my kraft frame.  My little monster is from Lawn Fawn's 'Monster Mash' set.  I stamped him out twice so I could have two different colours going on either side, so when he spins in his little window, it flicks between two colours, and coloured him using promarkers.  This was a new technique to me, colouring on kraft, and I've gotta say, I can't believe how vivid the colours remained on the kraft card!  I then fussy cut my monsters, and sandwiched some invisible thread between them when adhereing together, and sandwiched the same thread through my layers on my card as I constructed it, so that he hangs there.  My sentiment is also from Lawn Fawn's 'Monster Mash' set, and heat embossed on black card, in white powder.  I added a few little ribbons and a sprinkle of gems, and there you have it.  This is the first time I've done one of these 'invisible floaty' (yeah sure Jill, that's what they're called :/) cards, and I've gotta say, I'm chuffed with how it came out.  I think it's really cute :)

Hope you like it.
