Shiny and Happy

Today’s card is another Halloween and is part of the Make My Monday Challenge. As part of the design team, we hope to inspire your card making. Today’s card is very much out of my normal range and is covered in Glitter!! Not the loose kind. Glimmer Paper and tape are the stars.

You can join in the fun of the Make My Monday Challenge too. Just click on the icon and you will be taken to the blog where you can see cards from the other designers as well as add your own version.

Glimmer and Shine Paper

My version of a fun Halloween card is cute and not scary. And to be a little different from some of my others I decided to make this one a sparkly Halloween. The Glitter Washi Tape from the Mini Catalog was the inspiration for the card design. And with those pretty colors it also became the basis of the colors I chose to use. The washi tape colors are Black, Highland Heather, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. However, I used similar colors to create my little scene.

From the sparkle of the Old Olive tape, I changed to Parakeet Party for the card base. The layer of Glimmer Paper is from the 2022-2024 Glimmer Paper and I chose Orchid Oasis for the purple hue. And the top layer is Night of Navy to depict the night of Trick or Treating. After adding the tape across the bottom to ground the sentiment, I decided the card needed a bit more and used different strips with the children images.

Stamps and Layers

The Scary Cute stamp set is my Halloween set of choice. I love the images and the sweet sentiments. Choosing this set was the easy part. The difficult decision was how to showcase the different images. To create the background I stamped the bats using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on the Night of Navy cardstock. Then stamped the images and sentiment on scraps of Basic White. The sentiment was punched using my favorite the Double Oval Punch. With the strips of Washi to ground it, I did not need the layer behind the sentiment.

For the trick or treater images I used the Layering Circles Dies. The images are fairly small and I did not want to cover too much of the background. But to give the children some bling, I did add the strips of Glitter Washi Tape to tie in to the other colors. As a Tip for you, I used the Stamparatus to get the dark solid images of the children. Being able to stamp a couple of times really makes a difference on these solid images. 🙂

Hope you have an awesome Fall day!
