It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This is our second week of Halloween card ideas!  Since there are limited Halloween stamps this year, I decided to make some spooky trees with the Frosted Forest Dies!

PLAYFUL GHOSTS & FROSTED FOREST

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Gorgeous Grape cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of pumpkin polka dot Halloween Spells 12×12 Designer Paper (Online Exclusive) was added on top.
• Another 2-1/4 x 5 piece of stripe Halloween Spells DSP was cut into a banner and added over the DSP.
• The Stylish Shapes Circle was cut from Basic White cardstock and Blending Brushes used with Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Inks to make the sky.
• The trees from Frosted Forest Dies were cut from Basic Black and added to the circle.
• The bat from Playful Ghosts was stamped on the circle with Memento Black Ink.  The circle was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Playful Ghosts was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Gorgeous Grape cardstock and cut with the circle in Stylish Shapes Dies, it was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of Black Sparkle Dots were added in the background.
