Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week...Almost at the end of October my goodness the year is speeding by and only. few more days until Halloween.
We won't be here in Spain this year to celebrate as we will be in Japan for several weeks, touring the country and I'm not even sure if Halloween is celebrated there or not - I'll let you know !
It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!
Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!
The theme set for the DT this week by Nikky was to create something else for a Halloween Party, so I thought what else do you need for a party ? Hmm a party sign or door hanger of course.
I love a bit of recycling (and its free !) so for my sign today I started out with a rectangle of packaging card, it's the sort that has a corrugated centre. I carefully removed small sections of the top paper layer to expose the corrugated areas and then used black gesso to cover both sides of the card.
Next I chose some papers from the Creepy Creatures collection and tore the edges roughly before adding these to the black base card.
I decided to add some small strips of gauze too between some of the paper layers for a bit of texture. I used my Crop-A-Dile punch to add a couple of brass grommets and then tied some purple twine through these.
I added a few pieces of washi tape and some die cut black card splats next.
The Halloween letters were die cut from gold glitter card and foam and layered onto the sign in a wonky fashion.
Next I printed out a couple of the pumpkins from the ephemera pack and one of the sentiments and fussy cut these out, adding them to the sign along with glossy accents on the pumpkin eyes.
Finishing touches were splatters of black Wink of Stella pen and black sparkly gems.
I think this would be perfect for hanging up at a spooky Halloween party !
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
