It's that time of year where I get to make Halloween cards. I just really enjoy putting together interesting and offbeat cards, and my four adult children and their spouses enjoy receiving them. For my DD#1 (darling daughter), I found two challenges at Splitcoasters that spurred along my imagination and my creative mojo began to rumble!
I wanted to use skeleton bones on my card, and I pulled out an old 2015 Stampin' Up set that I had not ever inked up. Being that this card would be for my oldest daughter, I thought a few feminine touches might be nice, so my skeleton ends up being a wee girl skeleton but not so terribly scary. I am really happy with the results that morphed as I put it together. I completed the inside with my very own Chatterbox verse and added some embellishments to coordinate with the card front. Take a peek below. . .I think DD#1 will be delight!
