Spooky Aspens

This card was made using the Aspen Tree dies and the Alphabest Bundle.

The card starts with a Thick Basic White cardstock card base.

Next is a Basic White cardstock panel. The moon was made by cutting a piece of Stampin' Up! Masking Paper using the approximately 1 3/4" Layering Circle die. Once the Masking Paper circle was adhered to the Basic White cardstock panel, the panel was colored with a Blending Brush using Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze ink.

When the desired color for the "sky" was achieved, the Stampin' Up! Masking Paper circle was removed from the panel and the moon was colored using Crushed Curry ink and a Blending Brush.

The Basic Black cardstock top panel was embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. After the panel was embossed, the aspen trees were cut out using the Aspen Tree dies.

The Basic Black aspen tree panel was adhered, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, onto the "moon" panel.

"SPOOKY!" was made using the Alphabest stamp set. The letters were first stamped in VersaMark ink onto Basic Black cardstock and then heat embossed using White Embossing Powder. After the letters were embossed they were cut out using the Best Label Punch. The Alphabest stamp set and the Best Label Punch are sold as a bundle or can be purchased separately. The letters were adhered to the card front panel using Black Stampin' Dimensionals.

The bats were cut out using the bat dies from the Scary Silhouettes dies and Metallic and Shimmer Specialty Paper. They were adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Here's a look at the inside of the card.

The trick or treaters, bats and the sentiment are all from the Scary Cute stamp set and have been stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a Basic White cardstock panel.
