Happy Monday Friends!
Today I have a super cute Halloween card to share with you all that was inspired by my childhood. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I didn't really speak much English until I was 6 years old even though we had moved to Canada when I was 2. So for the longest time when I would go trick or treating on Halloween, I would scream "Trick or Tree" when I would ask for candy at the doorsteps around the neighborhood. It wasn't until much later (probably in my teens) that I realized that I and every other Portuguese person I trick or treated with had been saying it wrong all along. So even though my card today spells Treek, just know in my mind it will always be Tree!
CARD DETAILS
To begin I die cut 6 of each ghost figure from THE NAME'S JACK | HONEY CUTS and then stacked and glued them together. Behind the eye openings, I glued a piece of black cardstock to give the ghosts black eyes and to one of the ghosts I added a mouth. To each ghost I then blended out cheeks by using Tattered Rose Oxide Ink and the DETAIL BLENDER BRUSHES. I also added some shadows to the bodies using Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink.
For the sentiment, I stamped out the words Trick or Treek from the FABOOLOUS SENTIMENTS on the angular pieces of the banner. To stamp out the TREEK I used the TR from the TREAT stamp and the EEK stamp by masking the letters I didn't need. To extend the banner I glued both angular banners together from the ANGULAR BANNER DIES.
I then arranged and glued the ghosts onto a galaxy panel that I had trimmed from the HARVEST FESTIVAL PAPER PAD and then glued it to a black card base. To finish off the front of the card I added some white enamel dots from the BACK TO BASICS sticker set.
For the inside, I stamped out the Happy Halloween from the FABOOLOUS SENTIMENTS.
I think this card is pretty adorable even though it is a Halloween card.
Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Trick or Treeeeek everyone!
