Trick or Treat Candy Corn!

Hi Friends Patty here!

For today’s card project, I am using an absolutely darling set from Pixi Dust Designs called Halloween Candy Corn. It makes the sweetest candy corn monsters you have ever seen!

To get started, I cut out the tree from Hot Fudge Cardstock and the haunted house from Kraft Cardstock. All cardstocks are from CutCardStock. I ink-blended Memento Tuxedo Black ink over the tree and Catherine Pooler’s S’Mores ink over the haunted house.

To create the candy corn figures, I cut out Frankenstein using Hydrangeas Purple, Grape Jelly, and Plum. Frankie's eyes and hair are from scraps of black cardstock. For Dracula, I used Cougar White and pressed the different layers into the ink pads. I used Pebble and Hoodie inks from Catherine Pooler on Dracula. I used scrap black and red for his cape and bow-tie.

To create the background, I cut a circle out of masking paper. I messily ink-blended Chiffon, Tiki Torch, Be Mine, Glam, and Black Jack inks to create the background.

The Blackjack really helps to add a dark, creepy mist or fog-like look to your background. I lightly went over the masked area with Chiffon so it wasn’t so stark white.

I glued the tree and the haunted house to the background. I added my candy corn characters to the card panel. I adhered some Hero Arts star sequins to the night sky. My sentiment is from Pretty Pink Posh’s Halloween Sentiment stamp set. I heat embossed my sentiment using Wow! Opaque White embossing powder. I added my sentiment, and my card is complete!
