I have dipped my toe into the world of Halloween card making. It is not a 'festival' that I have ever really been interested in except that I have always enjoyed making Halloween ATCs. So I joined a group of Halloween card swappers and set to with - I must admit - enthusiasm. I enjoyed every minute and am quite pleased with the results. I am now going to bore you with them all.

The crypt scene is from Tattered Lace, as is the cauldron. The others are cut using dies that I have had for ages. May be from Tattered Lace.

All this was made using a pyramage from an Ooh La La CD called 'Faithful Friends'

I have mentioned everything I used under the appropriate image. I used my graphics programme (ACDSee) for any borders and for adding my name to each image. The font- in case you are interested is - chiller. Looks good in red - doesn't it?
I am looking forward to receiving my swaps for this first venture into 'Halloween'.

An absolutely fantastic selection of Halloween cards, love the range of characters and critters
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Carol, each card is like an art journal page! So full of details, each telling a little story - well done! Love them all. I'm thankful I had many fun Trick or Treat nights growing up. All we worried about was sweating too much and the mosquitos (it's usually still Indian Summer here). But Halloween for us locally has never been the same since 1974 when I was 18. Perhaps you heard about it. The Candyman who laced pixie stixs with cyanide and killed his own son for life insurance, he lived in the next town over.

Never was the same, at least here. Churches and schools began having carnivals as an alternative, that is what my daughter grew up knowing. xoxo
These are all fabulous Carol. I wonder which one I will receive??? Still in the process of making mine, I had better get a move on.
