Halloween Pumpkins & Skeletons

Today's card was created for the...

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #538.

I rotated my sketch to fit what I had planned in my head for this challenge.

For my "Boo to You" Halloween Card, I used the Stampin' Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle, Bag of Bones Bundle, Them Bones DSP & Glow in the Dark Specialty Paper.

Pumpkin Pie cardstock was used as my card base with the next two layers from Them Bones DSP.

The sentiment is from the Bag of Bones Stamp Set, stamped using Cajun Craze ink onto a crypt that was fussy cut from the DSP.  Wink of Stella was brushed on the "Boo" letters and adhered with dimensionals.

The skeleton dog was die cut from DSP.  His bowtie was die cut from the Glow in the Dark Specialty Paper and adhered with dimensionals.

The vines and leaves were stamped using Mossy Meadow ink and fussy cut.

The fence and crypt were die cut from Basic Black cardstock.  The crypt was adhered with dimensionals.

The pumpkins were stamped using Cajun Craze & Pumpkin Pie inks onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  The white pumpkin was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed using White Embossing Powder also onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  The black pumpkin was stamped using Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and fussy cut.  The stems were stamped using Pecan Pie ink.  The pumpkins were adhered with dimensionals as well.

I stamped a "happy face" on the bottom pumpkin.

Two of the pumpkins were cut using the Pick of the Patch Builder Punch, the others were fussy cut.

The skeleton was die cut from DSP and tucked behind the crypt.  I added a black hat with Wink of Stella on the strip on the hat.

The crypt was die cut and adhered with dimensionals and Wink of Stella brushed on the whole die cut.

The bats were die cut from the Glow in the Dark paper and added over the existing images on the DSP.

Inside my card is Basic White cardstock with a 3/4" strip of DSP along the left.  Additional pumpkins, leaves and a stem were stamped and fussy cut and punched out and added in the lower left.

Here's a better photo of the Wink of Stella with all it's wonderful shimmer!

DSP was added on the envelope flap as well.

This photo shows the die cut images from the Glow in the Dark Specialty Paper, doing it's job of glowing!
