Halloween Rocks Card

Hey there Creepy Cuties!

Celia from Paper Beats Rock Designs back from my loooong hiatus to share how I created my first Halloween card of 2021 using CCC №154 Spooky Sweet Life!

First, I printed out my image (along with a few for future projects) and colored it up with alcohol markers.

After fussy cutting out the image, I made an A2 card from grey card stock. Then, I grabbed a couple of orange scraps and adhered them to the card front.

Y'all know I love the way stitching looks on cards, so I went around the edges with a straight stitch and then down the middle of the scraps with a zig-zag stitch that I think mimics the Frankenstein Monster rocker hand nicely.

After that I went to my manual diecut machine and cut "Happy Halloween" from black cardstock. I cut the "Happy" from "Halloween" and saved that for a later project.

For the rest of my sentiment I pulled out a set of Heidi Swapp alphas and stamped "ROCKS!" out in orange ink. I adhered both parts of the sentiment down to the card front, then grabbed some black thread and hand stitched along one side of each letter of "Rocks".

I was going to do the same in orange thread to the word "Halloween", but decided to forgo that idea, thinking it may make the cursive hard to read.

Next, I popped CCC №154 up on some craft foam and glued it next to my sentiment. To finish off the card I added some rhinestones in green, black and orange.

I totally love the way this card came out and can't wait to create a hole bunch more Halloween cards with more Oddball images.
