Hello Thursday and welcome to another fabulous Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have some super fun creations for you today with the theme of Halloween/ Pumpkins.

Them Bones Designer Series Paper is just FULL of fun patterns. I took two of them and cut them apart to create my card today and used another to cover the card front. The card base is Basic Black A2 size. I covered the card front in the black bats, although it’s hard to tell. On that I layered a panel of Smoky Slate that had been run through the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. I cut the tombstone with the cat and grass using my paper snips. I laid it on the embossed panel to see where I wanted the moon, then removed the tombstone and with a 2″ cut out circle, I used a Blending Brush and Whisper White ink to blend in a moon, then adhered the tombstone in place. Using those same paper snips I cut a skeleton and another tombstone. I adhered the lower half of the skeleton with glue and the upper portion with dimensionals, for depth. I adhered the remaining tombstone in place with dimensionals. With a scrap of the DSP that was blackish, I stamped the BOO! using VersaMark ink and the Cottage Wreaths stamp set, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it. In trimmed it down and adhered it with dimensionals as well.

For the inside, I took another piece of the black bat paper from the Them Bones DSP and adhered it inside the card. I stamped the twig wreath from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Crumb Cake ink, then the spider in Memento ink, then used the Basic Black Marker to indicate the spider sliding down creating a ‘string’. And the card was complete! My grandkids are going to love this!

For the Basic White envelope, I used the same black bat paper for the flap and for the bottom of the front – makes it look spooky!
