A spooky birthday celebration!

This week's Birthday celebrations on the Daring Cardmakers blog are taking a rather frightful turn!

With Halloween just around the corner this week's dare is a frightfully fiendish one!

The Design Team was lucky enough to be provided with some great Halloween elements from Tando Creative.

And luckily for this dare, I already had a Halloween birthday girl in mind!

Here's my spooky creation:

Chipboard elements: Tando Creative
Paper: Pink Petticoat, PTI, KI Memories
Stickers: KI Memories, American Crafts, Making Memories, Doodlebug
Die: MFT
Stamp: PTI
Other: Googly eyes, Stickles, Sharpies

I painted the skeleton with some paint from a Dulux apple blossom white tester pot, very handy as it gave him ghoulish appearance. The cobwebs and bats were coloured in using a black Sharpie and then I use Black Stickles over the entire front of the cobwebs (hard to see in the photo) and around the eye area of the bats before also adding some googly eyes. The Pumpkin was also coloured in with an orange Sharpie and I added orange Stickles. A lot of the letter stickers are old ones (like the white Making Memories velour stickers!), some pre-glittered and some not, I went to town with the Stickles again on those!

And as the card is for a 10th birthday, there are 10 spooky wishes inside:

I hope the birthday girl likes it! Apparently the handmade felt spider card from last year will be difficult to beat!

Happy spooky crafting!

Don't forget, we are also rounding off our celebrations with a birthday blog hop!

We'd love you to join in! This is a chance for everyone - even if you don't join in with the challenge - to win one of our special birthday "presents", you can find out more on the Daring Cardmakers blog.
