Day 19

"The Moon has Awoken"

Gothic Easel Card by Leigh

Once Upon a Nightmare....in the enchanted Furness Forest the Moon has Awoken with the Sleep of the Sun, the Light has been broken, the Spell has begun!

For Day 19 of our SPOOKtacular 31 Days of Halloween Hop+Challenge I'm back with a magical Moon Easel Card featuring digi stamps and SVG Cutz from my new Once Upon a Nightmare Collection!

To make my magical easel card I started out with my new Gothic Crystal Ball Easel Card 3D SVG Cutz set and cut the base pieces from black heavy weight cardstock, the spiderweb and Fleur-de-lis overlays from black 80lb cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo 4.

I then cut the Crystal Ball base mat layer and the Fleur-de-lis from purple cardstock.

I sized my Wicked Moon digi stamp to fit the easel card in Silhouette Studio and printed it out on Silhouette's specialty glow-in-the-dark sticker paper and cut it out.

I then sized the lace overlay from my new Furness Forest Faerie Ring Layered SVG Cutz to fit the easel card and cut it out from black cardstock.

I also sized "The Moon Has Awoken" saying from my faBOOlous A Wicked Compendium of Halloween Sayings set in Silhouette Studio to fit the crystal ball base and cut it out with an offset and also cut out a matching mat layer from black cardstock.

I used the circle mat layer included in the Gothic Crystal Ball Easel Card 3D SVG Cutz set to size the Furness Forest Winter Treescape digi stamp and then cut it out.

I coloured the treescape circle with Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide inks and added stars to the night sky with a white Dylusions paint pen.

I then assembled all the cut pieces to create the 3D easel card. I adhered the base of the crystal ball in place with black foam tape to create the stopper. The easel card folds flat for mailing and you can also use the easel card pieces to make a 2D crystal ball too!
