Good morning! It's
Lisa here with you today and I am up on the
blog with a fun Halloween card for you!
You've got to love a holiday that says......"It's ok to combine orange and purple with each other!"
You wouldn't think that these colors would look good together but I just love them
blended next to each other! Maybe it's that they are so opposite, they do say opposites attract!
Anyway, I just love the color combination and I love the way this card turned out!
The best part about this card is the light up pumpkin!
These lights are super easy to use and make easy work of making light up cards!
They consist of one battery pack attached to 3 mini lights.
I placed the 3 lights under the pumpkins eyes and nose.
Here is a quick recipe for my card:
1) I used a Wavy Wonky Rectangle die to cut a panel out of Bristol Smooth
card stock. (I love this paper for blending Distress Oxide Inks)
2) Blend Distress Oxide inks: Carved Pumpkin into Spiced Marmalade on the bottom and
Wilted Violet into Shaded Lilac at the top. Next I spritzed the panel with water and
dried it to give my background a distressed look.
3) Stamp Happy Halloween from the
"Boo To You" stamp set in black
ink at the top of the panel and add the little spider around the words.
4) Add a grassy border at the bottom of the panel to ground your card.
I also sponged the top of the grass with dark green ink to give it a little depth.
hat, eyes and mouth for a little sparkle. Die cut pumpkin with matching
die.
6) Lastly tape the
EZ Light battery pack to a piece of black cardstock measuring
5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and place foam tape all over panel avoiding battery pack.
I placed my battery pack on the bottom left of the card
and threaded the 3 lights up through the bottom right of the main panel. I adhered the
3 small lights to the back of the pumpkin behind the eyes and mouth. I placed my pumpkin on foam tape to leave room for the lights and then I adhered the main panel down to the black panel.
Press purple button on battery pack and prepare to be amazed!
** I added a small half circle over the battery pack and hand wrote
"push here" however there are stamp sets available that already have these sayings.
This card was so much fun to make and the EZ lights make quick work of light up cards!
In no time you can have a fun interactive card that will amaze your recipient!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!
