This week we are “Casing Melissa Davies”! Here’s her Halloween card that I chose to case.
BAG OF BONES
And here’s how I updated her card using the new Bag of Bones Bundle! And I was actually inspired to do the split background from another Christmas card she made, too! Since my skeleton was white embossed on black and wouldn’t show up on black DSP, I used the three colors of candy corn for my background instead. I also reversed the focal image placement so it made sense for my skeleton.
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Black cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of polka dot Brights 6×6 DSP was added to the background.
- 1-3/4 x 4 piece of Basic White, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight were laid together, then cut with the Scallop Contour Die, then assembled on the DSP.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on the Pumpkin Pie layer.
- The skeleton from Bag of Bones was stamped with Whie Craft Ink on Basic Black cardstock, then embossed with White Embossing Powder and cut with the Bag of Bones Die, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The hat and boots were cut from Crumb Cake cardstock and added to the skeleton.
- The bats were stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper right corner.
- A trio of black Sparkle Gems were added to the background.
This card just makes me SMILE! I’m going to mail it off to my oldest grandkid for Halloween…he’s a big fan of country music!
