Celebrate Halloween

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I would like to briefly remind you about it.

Anything related to the 

Day of the Dead and/or Halloween

A while ago, I tried out the Blackout technique that I saw on a card on my friend Gundi's blog. 

To save a long explanation, the technique is shown here and here ;)

I tried it three times and I don't think I'll be trying it again, because the technique uses a lot of ink and you need to have suitables embossing folders. I think floral motifs are more suitable than the ones I used. Well, at least I gave it a try!

I thought I wouldn't use them, but lo and behold, I liked one of them for my Halloween card.

I drew a few sugar skulls in different sizes because I don't have any stamps for them. I cut them out, stuck them here and there on the card, then added the embossed Halloween sentiments.

Happy Halloween

Thanks for stopping by.

And maybe you'd like to join us...
