Do I love Halloween? Yes!! Ever since I was a kid it's been my favorite holiday it was just so fun getting to dress up and get candy. Even when I grew up and had children Halloween just became so fun in my home! Now that my kids are grown, I still look forward to Halloween. We decorate outside, pass out candy to the neighborhood children and then put on our favorite spooky movies! 👻

I have made a fun and spooky card for the challenge using the Simon Says Stamp Oh Frank stamp and die set. I began with an A2 size cardbase made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of more white cardstock and ink blended using distress inks in shades of purples. I even added a bit of black around the edges. I then did some ink splattering using some white acrylic paint and a paintbrush. I set that aside to dry and stamped the monster out of green cardstock. I die cut him out and arranged him on the inked panel. I then stamped the sentiments onto silver and black cardstock. I heat embossed the sub-sentiment using white embossing powder. I trimmed out the sentiments and added them to the bottom portion of the card. I popped everything up using some 3d foam squares.

I hope you enjoyed the card I made today and if you are interested in any of the products I used, they are listed and linked below for your convenience. All supplies can be found at the Simon Says Stamp store.
