Halloween series #5 - Gel press background

September 12, 2020

Evening friends,

So tonight I want to share a card that has a more neutral design. This could certainly be given as a Halloween card though. All of these cards I've created can be altered as you wish to, if you would like to make them more spooky.

This background I created using a gel press. I applied Pebeo acrylic paints and moved them around using a brayer. Once dry, I trimmed the background down and backed onto black card stock.

I dived into my vast collection of patterned papers and found this cute toadstool print. Using my lawn fawn stitched circle dies, I cut out a circle that would fit nicely onto my background.

The left over black plain card stock, I die cut the Olive tree die from Joanna sheen, also the little star cluster die from Lawn Fawn. To add a little extra sparkle, I brushed over the die cut images with my Wink of stella pen. I adhered these elements to the circle, then the circle foam taped to the background for some extra dimension. To complete the card, this was glued to a white card base. Very simple and not too spooky!
