Have a Wicked Halloween!!! Bug Bytes "Black" Projects

Welcome to the BugBytes Blog Hop!  I LOVE Halloween!!!  This card was so much fun to make!!  You should have arrived from JEN's blog .  Jen is the beginning!!  Please go to Pam's BLOG for the Linky Party and the lineup in case you get lost!!

   I tried out a new technique for my project today!  

Lydia (one of my fellow designers at Frosted Designs) did a tutorial recently about stamping on masking tape and I found the perfect project to try it on!!

I put 5 strips of masking tape on the back side of my Fiskars mat.  I used my Wicked Close to my Heart stamps (the hat and broom) with black ink and stamped the tape.  I put the tape strips on the card and trimmed the extra off.  I took purple and green ink and sponged it on the front of the card.

I cut out these witch shoes from Happy Hauntings at 3 inches.  I cut them out in black cardstock and again in orange cardstock.

I cut of the top of the black shoes so you could see the orange socks.

I used gold stickles to create stripes on my socks.  I touched one of the socks (I usually touch wet stickles at least once per project) but I knew I was going to cover it up with the cauldron.

I used the cauldron from Create A Critter cut at 5 inches out of black cardstock.

I really struggled with how to place the boots!  They did not fit straight due to the curly toes!  I finally decided to have them toe to toe.

I adhered the cauldron to the bottom of my card with my ATG gun.  I turned the card over and trimmed the extra off.

All trimmed up!

I am not a card maker most of the time and I made a rookie mistake while stamping my sentiment.  So, I just grabbed a lime green scrap and trimmed it and re-stamped!

All better my little pretties!!

I added some purple gems to the shoes and some skinny purple ribbon to the rim of the cauldron and POOF! my card is complete!!!

Thanks so much for flying by!!
