I had to use up some scraps from the last Halloween card so I did a patchwork with strips of paper. ItÂ’s very fast and easy when using one sided sticky paper. Just lay your first strip down and continue adding and changing directions until the area is covered. I just cover the area that will be seen. I added some faux stitches to the seams using the mat pack and gel pen.
The grid backgrounder was stamped on the orange borders using the black soot distress ink.
I stamped the images on white cardstock, sponged in order yellow, orange, purples, red. Heat embossed with Ultra Thick/UT embossing powder - 3 coats. Added the mesh and heated just enough for it to set the mesh into the UT. Added the sticker Boo and called it finished!
