I love autumn and always look forward to seeing the gorgeous Halloween paper collections each year, especially those by Graphic 45. This year's Halloween paper is called Rare Oddities, and it's not only spooky, but beautiful. I made a card with the non-spooky sides of the paper and would like to share how I made it with you today!
Before you begin, gather your supplies.
Glue together the two flags so that they stagger,
and adhere the flag to the card front on pop dots. Set aside.
Use Scor-Tape to adhere the thin black ribbon to both sides of the card.
Remove the decorative circle from the sticker sheet.
Place the fussy cuts inside to plan your focal image.
Cut as much or as little as you need to fill the opening.
Place the circular sticker on top of the black doily.
Adhere the black circle to the back of the doily and sticker.
Place the fussy cuttings inside the circle to your liking. Adhere with wet glue.
Adhere the doily to the top of the card as shown.
Turn over the leftover orange paper,
With Dusty Concord Distress Ink, stamp a rectangle using the Graphic 45/Hampton Arts stamp set.
Using archival black ink, stamp the sentiment of your choice inside the box.
Trim the sentiment as shown.
Adhere the black butterfly to the card with a glue dot.
In this version, I used a chipboard element from the collection instead of the stamped image.
In this version I used another chipboard element.
Use your imagination to create the card you want!
Creating beautiful cards is easy and fun when you start with the proper supplies. And absolutely everything you need is in the "I want it all" Rare Oddities Bundle by FotoBella!
