I needed to make a few Halloween cards quickly for someone and my creativity wasn't flowing very well, so I turned to the PTI Design Team for help. This card was inspired by one made by Betsy Veldman.
I used Limeade Ice cardstock for the card base (I'm starting to really like this color!) and added a layer of Orange Zest cardstock, impressed with my star impression plate.
I die-cut the frame in black and white polka dots, cutting a piece of white cardstock to fit the inside of the frame. I stamped the ghosts and sentiment, adding die-cut bows for the boy ghosts and hair bows for the girl ghosts, all on foam tape. I adhered the frame, backed with a die-cut coaster for added support, also on foam tape for dimension.
"Olivia" was cut in Limeade Ice using a Sizzlet alphabet. The funny thing is I was going to sell my Sizzlet alphabets, but used them all in the last week. Now I'm glad I still have them! I added a die-cut girl ghost on the side of the frame on foam tape.
To finish the card, I added a gem to the bow centers and Halloween twine, threaded with a bright orange button around the bottom.
