52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
I love to see the children dressed up in their Halloween outfits and welcome the children of our neighbours to call round in their finery.
For the little girls that live opposite us, I decorated some plain white bags with the Funky Fossil "Crooked Webs" stencil using "Carved Pumpkin" and "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide inks. I'd picked up a sparkly/glittery pack of large purple spiders a while back (possibly from Home Bargains), adhering them to the bags using a silicon glue.
I've continued my festive makes with this Halloween Card. I've used a lime green card for the base with Distress Oxide Ink in Wilted Violet shade of ink through the Funky Fossil "Crooked Webs" stencil.
I printed out the sentiment of "Happy Hauntings" from the computer onto green cardstock and cut to size.
I used the Funky Fossil bag of MDF shapes called "Spooky Elements". This is a surprisingly large bag of assorted pieces and well worth the money.
Using a Distress Oxide in the shade of "Carved Pumpkin", I added colour to the two pumpkin MDF shapes. I then gave them a green tint around the edges using the "Peeled Paint" shade. I also used a gold pen to add a few lines to it.
I used a black Sharpie pen to colour the bats and the spider MDF shapes, adding some white outlines to the bats using a white Signo Pen.

I was inspired to make some Halloween Bunting using the Funky Fossil Designs "Crooked Webs" stencil.
I used five shades of Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil to create the pennants: Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, Twisted Citron and Carved Pumpkin.
I die cut black discs and yellow letters in cardstock.
I cut the stencil shapes to the desired size and shape and mounted them onto black card to make the colours pop more.
I then stuck the yellow letters on to the black discs, and then onto the point of the pennant. I added the plastic spiders using a small blob of silicon type glue. Because they stand proud of the card base, they look incredibly realistic in real life, even casting a shadow.
Finally, I punched small holes in each corner of the pennant, adding a small bit of double sided sticky tape to the middle of the back and then threaded ribbon through, sticking the ribbon to the tape on each piece to each flag didn't move.

This was a nice quick card using Distress Oxide Inks in the shades of Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Chipped Sapphire, through the Funky Fossil Designs "Crooked Web" stencil.
I die cut the web using a square die with a stitched detail around the edge. I adhered the coloured square on to black card, using the next square die up in the nest I cut the shape and adhered it to the middle of the card.
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink, I stamped the "Happy Halloween" sentiment which is part of a Papertrey Ink stamp set (Tag-its #7). Finally, using a small blob of silicon glue, I stuck the plastic spider to the front of the card.
