Spooky Fun Video Hop

Hi friends! I'm popping in today with a little spooky Halloween fun. I'm taking part in a #craftyfunspooky fun video hop on YouTube with some friends of mine from the Crafty Fun with Friends of LV Handcrafted group on Facebook. The theme is spooky fun, so I decided to make a fun Halloween shaker card. You can watch the video below or on my You Tube Channel.

I started by coloring this fun little vampire gnome from the Jaded Blossom Boo Crew stamp set with Copic markers then die cutting with the coordinating outline dies. Once my gnome was all dressed up and ready to go, I started in on my background.  I used both distress and distress oxides in candied apple, lumberjack plaid, aged mahogany, and black soot.

After I finished the background, I pulled out the Coffin Die and used the coffin mat die to create a shaker window for the card.  On the cut out piece I embossed the sentiment in black, then glued it to the card base and layered up the acetate window and foam tape on the back of the main background panel.  I added a mix of sequins and clay embellishments to finish off the shaker.

I then pulled out the bat from the Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons, coloring with Copics, then assembling and fluffing up his wings.  I finished with a few sequins scattered around the edges of the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a super creative weekend!
