HALLOWEEN CARD MAKING FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

All card making is fun especially Halloween which features cards from scary to cute

This card with spider web paper
and orange vellum overlay was
fun with the spiders peeking  through.
The specialty button with threaded
ribbon fits well.
Pumpkin on risers and spongy
black cat finish the look.

Pumpkins in the graveyard

on a starry night

look frightened not by a ghost

but by the glitter legged spider

with the red gem abdomen 

threatening to descend.

These two cards are from

'Why Paint Cats'

published by Ten Speed Press

The real painted skeleton cat is

especially eerie, to which I added

glitter green eyes.

The following cards were made with

ATC's or Artist Trading Cards

ATC's are 2 1/2 x3" cards which

are only traded and never sold.

They can be added to cards

like here, or in scrapbooking.

I've been looking for a new group to

trade with for awhile.

An embossed bat pendant
with red beady eyes lays
on shimmery card stock.

This ATC is one of my favorites.

The haunted house sits embossed

under a glittered full moon with

real beach sand and shells

at it's feet. The card paper overlay

is thick black handmade paper.

My friend and gardener Steve

gave me a few vintage Halloween

photos to use on my cards.

This one I made for him.

I colored the B&W photo with

artist's colored pencils, then fun

embellishments. I overlaid the

finished photo with white vellum

to convey the vintage look of the

image.
