Boo to You!

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by today! I’m excited to share another enchanting Halloween card featuring products from the latest Pretty Pink Posh collection. I combined the new Boo Word Shaker Dies and the Halloween Silhouettes Stencil with the previously released Stitched Ghosts for a spooky, cute card design. Check out the supplies I used, and then I’ll walk you through how this card came together.

PRETTY PINK POSH SUPPLIES

Boo Word Shaker Dies
Stitched Ghosts Dies
Halloween Greetings Stamp Set
Halloween Silhouettes Stencil
Candy Corn Carnival Clay Confetti

OTHER SUPPLIES

Concord & 9th Cardstock: Creamsicle
SSS Cardstock: So Very Black and Slate
Distress Ink: Black Soot
SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink: Cantaloupe
Spellbinders Onyx Silk Spatter Medium

My first step was to trim a piece of Creamsicle cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 inches for the background panel and stencil it using the Halloween Silhouettes stencil and Cantaloupe ink. The Cantaloupe ink is just slightly darker than the Creamsicle cardstock, giving the panel a versatile tone-on-tone effect, a great backdrop to any design, I think. Then I blended a little Black Soot around the edges of the panel for a spookier feel. Secondly, I stenciled the silhouettes again, but this time on Slate cardstock with Black Soot ink, and set it aside while I finished up the background.
My next step was to die-cut the Boo word from the top and the bottom of the Creamsicle background panel, set the positive Boo Word pieces aside, and then attached the negative piece to a piece of black cardstock trimmed to 4.5 x 5.75 inches, making the finished card design slightly larger than A2.

At this point, I inlaid the Boo Words back into the negative spaces but layered them with another die-cut first so they would sit higher than the background, giving them a little more definition. Then I die-cut another Boo Word to fill the center area, but this time from the Slate cardstock that I stenciled earlier. I tried to align the die-cutting so it would fit seamlessly with the elements that I had already stenciled and assembled. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close! Before attaching the third Boo Word with foam squares, I stacked it with two die-cuts for added dimension and overlapped the other two inlaid words. To finish the panel, I spattered it with a black splatter medium.

Lastly, I added a trio of Stitched Ghosts and a white heat-embossed sentiment die-cut with the coordinating die. A scattering of black clay stars for embellishment was the finishing touch.

Thanks again for stopping by to read about my spooky cute Halloween card that I created using new products from the latest Pretty Pink Posh collection. Happy Crafting!
