Easy Distress Oxide Halloween Cards

Although I am getting this post out late on Halloween, I am getting it out so am calling this a win.  😊  I made these cards a month ago, and since they were pretty easy to make, I thought they might inspire you.

To make this card, I first created a stencil out of Grafix Stencil Paper, using the spider web image from the Cricut Artbooking collection.  I then used Black Soot Distress Oxide ink to blend over the stencil onto a piece of White Daisy cardstock.  A bit of spritzed water over the panel finished up the background.

The Got Candy? special includes sequins with spiders, so they were perfect to add to this card. I used Silver Embellishing Thread to thread through the holes in the spider sequins, adhered them to the card panel, then attached the thread over the top of the panel to the back with scotch tape.  The panel was adhered to a card size panel of Black cardstock then attached to a White Daisy card base.

 

 

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from the retired Say It All stamp set (C1632) using Black Pigment Ink on a scrap of White Daisy cardstock, then heat emboss using Ranger Clear Super Fine Embossing Powder.  I attached it to the card using 3-D Foam Tape.

 

 

To make this second card, I spritzed the uncleaned stencil I used from the first card and pressed it onto a piece of White Daisy cardstock to pick up the remaining Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.  The remainder of the card was completed exactly the same way, with the exception of the sentiment, which was stamped with Versamark ink onto a scrap of Black cardstock and heat embossed with Ranger White Super Fine Embossing Powder.

 

 

I love the organic look of the spider web on this second card!  My son, who is my most honest critic, loved these cards.  For this second one he made the comment that it looks like a spider web you see when looking out through a frosted window.  😊

Thank you for looking and I hope you have a Happy Halloween!
