Day 1 of 31 Days of Halloween

"Furness Forest"

Wicked Alice Keyhole

slimline card by Val 

 

 

 

LeighSBDesigner Val is kicking off Day 1 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities with her faBOOlous slimline card featuring designs from my new Wicked Wonderland Halloween Collection.

 

 

 

 Val used my new Furness Forest Wicked Alice Keyhole as the main focus of her wicked awesome card and the "Furness Forest" Arrow Sign is just one of the 18 wicked awesome signs and sentiments included in the Wicked Arrow Signs set.

 

 

 

She coloured the keyhole scene and the arrow sign with Promarkers and used a white gel pen to add some detailing, then fussy cut everything out.

 

 

 

Next she die cut the intricate background panel from black cardstock using Crafter's Companion Gemini Starry Night die.

 

 

 

She then made a slimline card from Hobby Craft smooth white cardstock and cut mat layers for both the front and the card interior from black cardstock.  Next she cut a mat layer from Hobby Craft orange cardstock for the card front and a white mat layer for the inside and adhered everything in place.  For the finishing touch she adhered the "Furness Forest" Arrow Sign to the card with black foam tape for a touch of dimension.

 

 

  

What a SPOOKtacular make!

See you tomorrow for Day 2 of our 31 Days of Halloween countdown!

  

Happy CRAFTober!
