Give us a Fright by Nina

 Hello Ai friends, Nina here with a new Scrapbook layout for our current "Give us a Fright" challenge. I am using multiple sets for this project, Ghoul Friend Set, Front Porch Halloween and MB Halloween.

 

I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Mini Misti.

I then colored them with Copic Markers that are Halloween colors.

I cut the images and attached them to a black background.

I used my white gel pen to draw a lot of webs between the images and around the edges then decorated with enamel dots and star stickers.

Trick or Treat Mini Scrapbook Layout by Nina

  Hello Ai friends, Nina here with a new mini 6 X 6 scrapbook page. I am creating a page about Halloween using the lovely Ghoul Friends Stamp Set, Front Porch Halloween and MB Halloween Set.

I stamped the adorable images using My Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored them using my Copic Markers.

Copic Shades:

Blue Green: BG32 BG34

Oranges: YR24 Yr27 YR01 YR21 YR07

Reds: R21 R22 R24 R37

Yellow Greens: YG95 YG97

Yellow: Y38

Browns: E43 E42 E17 E15 E13 E11 E25 E27 E29 E99 E59 E37

I then  cut my images and backed them with foam tape, put them aside to start creating my scrapbook layout background.

I cut a piece of Purple Skulls pattern paper into a little bigger than 5.5 X 5.5 Inch and used a Halloween paper collection from my stash.

I cut two strips from same paper collection and stacked them behind each other to give to be my ground of the scene. I attached the girls image on the ground strips and created a table with black papr to put my treat bowls on.

I added my lantrn garland and the spiders. I positioned the spider as if they are trying to reach the candy :) they are so adorable.

I then decorated with stars, enamel dots and couple sentiment stickers and added the whole panel to a star pattern paper background.

I then cute the four squares of the letters forming the word Fall from the same paper collection and backed only two of them with foam tape to give a variety of dimension and attached them towards the top of my layout.

I die cut multiple leaves from different pattern papers using the Leaf Frame Die Set and glued them behind the girl, the fence, the hillside and the pumpkins. I even places some around the word blocks.

I finish off with couple heart stickers and enamel dots then placed my whole panel on a light teal background.

Hello Ai Fans! I have created a card celebrating friendship and Halloween, adult style! These gals are all dressed up and ready to party. I love the creativity of the pumpkin costume so much! I wish I knew where to get one for me! LOL! This image is from 5038 - Ghoul Friend Set.

One of the great things about stamping is that you can make something in the image meaningful to you or your recipient. I gave the ladies pink and green drinks in honor of Pinkies and Greenies that a bar in Minneapolis, MN is known for. My husband and I had some good times in that watering hole and it just brings back some happy memories!

As I usually do, I sketched the basic design and then went ahead with cutting everything out. I cut the pieces with my trimmer except for the round piece. That was cut with the largest Circle Double Stitched Die. I edged the flag with Black Soot Oxide ink, the green square with Peeled Paint Oxide ink and the round with Wilted Violet Oxide ink. Inking really helps the pieces stand out from each other, especially when using so many different patterns. 

I colored the ladies and fussy cut them out before gluing them to the round piece of cardstock. I also assembled the background by stacking the pieces as shown here. I popped the circle piece up with foam tape and placed it on top of the card base.

I stamped the sentiment using one from the set. I used the small Circle Double Stitched die as a template to trace a circle around it to create a thought bubble. Then I added the tail to the thought bubble. I cut it out following my sketch line and then erased the edges so that they were no longer visible. 

And again here is the completed card. This would be a perfect card to send to a friend or sister for Halloween. I hope you all have this much fun on All Hallows Eve!

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you submit your fall card on our challenge page. It's Ghoulishly fun!

Wishing you a very crafty day!
