I am so very excited to be in this blog hop! There are some wonderful crafters here! I was so excited to create this for my front door. I had something else all planned out for the last month and the other day when I went in my scrap room to get creating all of a sudden this idea hit me. A non-traditional wreath for the door. So enjoy!
There will be a grand prize give away over at Lisa's Blog. If you would like to be eligible for a little Halloween embellishment package from me all you have to do is leave some love and become a follower. Oh, and don't forget to leave me a way to get hold of you. I will post a winner next Thursday 11/1.
Step 1: Get some kind of sign to use as your base. I got this at a discount department store some time ago on the clearance rack for hardly nothing.
Step 2: Cut your piece of paper to fit. Ink the edges for more dimension. I used my favorite Chestnut Roan. I used a 12x24 sheet of Bazzill paper and cut to fit over top of the scenery on the sign.
Step 3: Add another layer of paper. for added dimension. I did not have a paper long enough without having to piece it together so I used a strip of a Halloween print paper to cover the seam.
Step 4: I cut the phrase "Happy Halloween" from the Cricut cartridge Lyrical Letters. I cut it as large as it would go to fit on a 12x12 mat. This cartridge does not have a shadow and I wanted it double layered so I cut it twice. Once in black and once in glitter green.
Step: 5: The shift key of the Halloween phrase is this dangling spider so I cut him at a little over 4". I added some black stickles to him for some sparkle.
Step 6: Add any Halloween images. I pulled these out of my cut images stash. I thought they were perfect for this little sign. Sorry, I do not know what cartridge or the size.
