Cuttlebug Spot - Totally Frightful!

This week's Cuttlebug Spot Challenge is:

'Totally Frightful!'

We want to see your scary Hallowe'en projects.
Eeeeeek!!!

I don't have much Hallowe'en stash, and most of what I do have is rather cute...so these pumkins (from the 'Spooky' set by Penny Black) are the best that I could do. I created the orange background by randomly stamping a spider's web (from the same PB set) in Versafine, then embossing with clear powder. I embossed a piece of black card with my Cuttlebug 'Skeleton Scroll' folder, then highlighted the raised detail with a white chalk inkpad. I distressed all of the edges with inks and my distressing tool, and added a piece of ribbon from Poppicrafts.


For more 'frightful' inspiration, please check out the scary creations by my lovely Cuttlebug Spot DT buddies...if you dare!

    Helen, I love your cute little spooky card. Your coloring is fab, and the bg paper is a perfect image. Sometimes, we can do more with what we have available and achieve the same effects. Awesome take on the challenge1

    Hugz, xx

    H Helen, great take on the DT theme. Loving the skull background and adding chalk inks to it was a stroke of genius...

    Great card! I've never seen that embossing folder before. We didn't have a lot of Halloween stuff in our stores this year. Hope you have a great week!
