I'm really not much of a Halloween person, but in recent years, I've really enjoyed creating with the fun spooky images. There are just so many possibilities! :) I really love this spider and web from Odd Bird Planet. How cute and simple! I combined these fun new stamps with another card technique I like to use. I created the circle card out of these Waste Not Paper 5 1/2" circle cardstock pieces. I like to score the top circle at about an inch or so, then adhere the scored section to the bottom of the card base. Then it opens up and functions beautifully as a circle card!
I am so excited to now be carrying Stampendous! Disco Black Embossing Powder in the store. I couldn't wait until it arrived, so I did create my own using Black and Holographic Highlights embossing powders. I made a mess with the black and glitter creating my own, so I'm glad Disco Black is here! But it worked none the same... :) Here is a closeup of the sparkly spider...
