Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook and I interrupt your regularly scheduled summer fun for some spooky wishes featuring the Mama Elephant Halloween awesomeness that recently released! If you've been here for just a minute, you know Halloween is my favorite and any excuse to create for it has me ALL IN!
I had a general idea that I wanted to create a big sentiment with the adorable mummies and witches around and in the letters somehow. So I started with my background to set the tone and choose my color palette...perfect summerween colors! I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Stars stencil set on pink cardstock to start off with. I used Lawn Fawn carrot and jet black inks.
Next, I adhered white cardstock to craft foam and covered the back with adhesive sheet. Then I die cut my sentiment using the Lawn Fawn Henry's ABCs die set. This gave instant dimension with less work than cutting each letter 4 times and gluing them together. After arranging my letters together I chose a Spellbinders Emerald Cut Label die to cut from vellum as a backdrop.
Now that I had a general placement and size of open space, I chose a couple of mummies and a witch from the new Mama Elephant sets - Mummified and Bewitched. I stamped, colored and die cut them, then adhered each mummy with foam squares and the witch with liquid glue.
Hiding adhesive behind the letters and images, I adhered the vellum panel with tape runner to the stenciled background. Next, I used liquid glue to adhere the whole thing to a card base.
For finishing touches I added orange glitter brush pen to the sentiment and white gel pen highlights to the images.
On a scale from 1 to spooky, how much do you love crafting for Halloween?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
