Clean and Simple Halloween

I couldn't let today pass without one more Halloween card! This one's for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge. I combined the sketch with the Paper Smooches Halloweenies set for this sort of spooky card.

I used the spider web as the sketch's circular element. It's stamped in gray ink for a softer look and layered on a black circle. I used dimensional dots to attach the web to a panel made from an orange and gray dotted paper on top and dark gray cardstock on the bottom with a little black baker's twine wrapped around the center. I tried some Halloween twine first, but it was too busy, so I settled on black. The set's "Happy Halloween" sentiment is stamped just above the twine.

The spider is stamped in black ink on the gray panel. I used a little Glossy Accents on the the eyes for a fun detail. A short piece of clear fishing line anchors the spider to its web.

I'll be back later on today with some photos of Chloe the cutie puppy decked out in her Halloween costume . . .

Materials Used:
from i {heart} papers: Paper Smooches Halloweenies stamp set, Memento London Fog and Tuxedo Black inks, Echo Park The Apothecary Emporium 6x6 paper pad, Divine Twine Black Licorice baker's twine, Sticky Thumb dimensional dots

other: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!); circle punches (EK Success)

  2. Cute card, but if instead of gray color you have selected brown paper, it looks great.
