A Special "Boo" To You!

Hello Dies R Us friends~  Birgit here with you today with a not so spooky Halloween card. There are so many fun fall dies at the Dies R Us online store it's hard to choose which ones go in the cart when I really want them all! 

 

For this card, I started by creating the background using some various landscape dies, cutting the hills out of two different shades of green.  The sky is a piece of printed scrapbook paper.  It made the perfect sky, don't you think?  Once the layers were in place I cut the whole panel using the largest Lawn Fawn's Large Cross Stitched Rectangles.  I love using this die when I don't want a border around the main panel.  It cuts the size perfectly to fit an A2 sized card.  I went on to add two of the Country Fences from Impression Obsession.  Cheery Lynn's Spooky Tree made the perfect backdrop for these funny little pumpkins from Impression Obsession.
I added some detail lines and shading to the pumpkins with colored pencils and a gel pen for their eyes.  The little swirly fronds coming off the big guy are from Quickuts.  I popped the big guy up using some foam dots to give it some dimension.



Today's Tip:  Add detail and color to your dies using markers, pencils and gel pens.  It really brings your dies to life!

Here is a list of products I used that can be found in the Dies R Us Store:
