A Shabby Chic Halloween Card

Hello everyone,

I have been quite busy lately and haven't had a chance to make any cards. I made sure this morning to set aside a few hours to make a card and enter it into some fabulous challenges. :)

Here is my card:


I made this card based on the sketch from Artisant Blog however the theme came from The Shabby Tea Room Spooky Wishes Challenge


The shabby black bow was made with seam binding ribbon, distressed with white distress paint, tied with some raffia and embellished with a fancy harlequin button. The sentiment was created on my PC and printed on heavy white card stock distressed with black and vintage photo distress ink and then cut into shape of a banner.


I used several Halloween Tickets from Digital Papers by Janet and created multiple layers with them. Some of them I embellished with liquid pears.


Instead of traditional banner I created this spiderweb banner to complement the theme...


One more look at the card...

I am entering this card into following challenges:
Artisant Challenge #2
The Shabby Tea Room Challenge Week #238 Spooky Wishes
Shopping our Stash #174 Halloween
and
Dream Valley Challenges #93 Halloween

I hope you enjoyed this post...
Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!

    Samra, once again you have nearly blown the hair right off my head! I am always so impressed with your ability to balance contrast and patterns. You know sometimes you see someone wearing a patterned shirt and a patterned skirt and you think, 'Yipes, that's a disaster'...well that never happens with your cards. Everything always perfectly compliments one another and your attention to detail is bar none! The liquid pearls and harlequin button are perfect examples of this!! The spider web banner is genius, just love that...love it all my crafty friend!! big hugs! :)

      You sure did! I have to admit something (but shhh, don't tell anybody ;)) ... I'm not a bit fan of Halloween. But even so this card made me go all "wow". You nailed it! :)
      Hugs from the chicken shaped European country. ;)
