And now for my card... I had so many ideas when I first saw the new Tim Holtz Peekaboo Stencil & GLOW Grit Paste, I had some fun ideas!  Then my order arrived and the stencil was a whole lot bigger than I envisioned it to be, so I had to do some experimenting and messy play to figure out what I would make for our Halloween Hop!  I hope you like what I came up with- a custom sized slimline card that is GLOW much fun!


As I mentioned, the stencil was definitely bigger than I expected, it took some tweaking (and dry time in between sets of eyes) to fit these three pairs of peekaboo eyes on this black #8 tag.  I loved the gritty texture, so decided to smear a bit of the roughness around some of the edges of my tag.  I really had wanted to put glowing eyes on my pumpkin, but the sizing just didn't work... so I decided to cut my 'BOO' out of the silhouette shape and have some fun with it!

I decided to add some glowing swirls to orange card stock and layer it under my tag with the sentiment inside the pumpkin, then cut the rest of my sentiment out of the same orange card stock to finish it off.  A bit of splatter makes the whole card a bit more interesting in the light of day.  The fun comes when you turn out the lights...


And here it is in total darkness!  So much fun!


There's just one more stop on our Ghostly Greetings Inspiration Hop- Laurie!

Inky hugs & spooky smiles,
