Yes, today is October 1st, and it's World Card-Making Day! I love October AND card-making so it's a perfect fit! And I happened to see that one of my favorite blogs, The Cricut blog, is offering up a super cool contest for the occasion. :) All you need to do is submit a card creation for an opportunity in winning one of 3 Cuttlebug machines that they are giving away! Awesome, because although I have a Cuttlebug, I've been wanting to upgrade to the new and improved machine, so here's my chance!
Here's my card creation... perfect for October as well...
I used the Cricut Happy Hauntings cartridge for this card... and I LOVE this holiday cartridge! To make the spider's body and Dracula's hair more textured here, I used some green pom-poms that I cut off of a section of American Craft's Dear Lizzy trim. I took the pom-poms and smooshed them and pulled them apart slightly then inked them with some black Staz-On ink. After adhering the inked fibers to his head I took a white gel pen and used it to draw some emphasis to his hair part, as well as details to his eyes and fangs. The web background was created with the Cuttlebug Spider-Web folder. Hope you enjoyed my Halloween inspired, Cricut and Cuttlebug created card and thanks for stopping by!
