Lots of Googly Eyes on Skulls Halloween Card

 

Hello everyone!  Halloween will soon be upon us and I love making Halloween cards.  I really miss this holiday.  The Halloween Parade in NYC, the costumes, all the decorations in the stores and on the streets.  But, most of all, I miss Candy Corn.  LOL

I recently found a new card challenge blog called The Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge Blog.  This month's challenge is September Anything Halloween and the mood board, which is below, is perfect for me to use my favorite retired Halloween stamp, Skull Stack by Stampendous.   Even though it's retired I love pulling it out each year.  It's perfect for googly eyes too, much to the dismay of my friend Debra.  


I started by making a top-folding A2 card to which I adhered one of the Halloween papers from the Halloween Market paper from Carta Bella.  Then I stamped the Skulls Stack image on white cardstock, die cut it with a rectangle die, layered it on a piece of black cardstock and then on to the card front.


Then I stamped a sentiment from my stash and cut it out with a banner die.  Layered it on a piece of black cardstock and adhered it to the card front. 


Next, I adhered googly eyes to each of the skulls.  Yes, Debra....sorry!  LOL 

And Orange Stickles by Ranger to the letters.



And...DONE!  Believe it or not, those eyes did not take long to glue down. 



I love shaking the card and seeing all those eyes bouncing around.  Yes...there is a child trapped inside this adult body.  LOL


I'd love to know what you think of this card.  And all those eyes.  Have you made any Halloween cards yet?  Do you make any?  I'd love to know. Until next time...Hugs from Brasil!

    I LOVE this card!! I want to make it and with the eyes...I will have to hunt for that stamp on ebay!
    If you seriously miss candy corm let Anna know at the store and she can tell me and I will ship it to you! It is basically indestructible so shipping wont hurt it. LoL
    You are not missing the parade with the pandemic it did not happen. We will see this year

    1. Hiiiiiii Margot! How are you?? Glad you LOVE this card. It's such a great stamp. I think they need to come out with it again. Thanks for your offer but I did get some from a friend and, honestly, the shipping to here would kill you! Hope you are well.
