The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Highland Heather card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock. Then I cut a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of DSP from the "Cute Halloween" stack. I thought the stripes would look nice on the background.
A 4-5/8" x 2-1/8" piece of Basic Black card stock. And a 4-1/2" x 2" piece of Highland Heather card stock. The DSP measured 4-3/8" x 1-7/8". These were all taped together.
I took a 2" x 2" piece of the colored dotted DSP and added a 2-1/8" x 2-1/8" piece of Basic Black and a 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of Highland Heather. I taped these pieces together. You can cut the piece in half and butt it up against the long layer. I just left it long and taped it to the long layer and then I taped that to the front of the card.
I fussy cut a skull, mostly because it was a piece that was usable on a small scrap but it worked out in my favor! It was set in place using a couple of Dimensionals.
The words are from the "Cutest Halloween" and were stamped using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I trimmed the piece to measure 5/8" x 1-3/4". I clipped the corners so they didn't have that sharp look. I set it in place using Dimensionals. I doubled the thickness of the Dimensionals on the left side.
I thought it could use something more so I glued on some paper stars that I had die cut the other day. They were left over and they were also in the cover of a container I had on my worktable that really needed to be closed. So I glued every one of those little stars on the front of the card.
Then I colored the skulls and all of the stars using Wink of Stella. It was just enough sparkle to make the card fun!
