Holiday Hugs Card with Marine

Hi crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back with this cute Halloween card showcasing Holiday Hugs, and once again, I'm happy to show you that this set can be used all year long. I've already used it on a Fall themed card, and today we're getting in a spooky mood.

I used the same design as my Fall themed card, and started by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. And to get in a spooky mood, I did what I often do: I went through my Sunny Studio collection to find images that would fit the theme perfectly. Here are the sets I used:

• Holiday Hugs: bear, cup

• Bewitching: witch hat

• Little Birdie: birds (to make crows)

• Fall Scenes: small bats

• Baby Elephants: star balloons

• Too Cute To Spook: pumpkins, smiles, big bat, stars

• Balloon Rides: banners

Next I cut a Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace Strathmore bristol smooth panel, added texture to it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait backdrop, and colored it using hickory smoke and black soot distress inks. I mixed some black soot distress ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the panel, and did the same with white ink.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Amazing Argyle purple pattern paper, stuck it to an A2 purple card base, and attached my Frilly Frame panel on top of it using foam tape. I white heat embossed my "Happy Halloween!" greeting from Too Cute To Spook on a black banner, and attached it on my panel, along with all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

As always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that this card will inspire you to think outside the box and to use your supplies in a different way than the way you're originally supposed to use them. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.
