This time around, we're asking that you create a card inspired by an album/CD cover of your favorite Halloween-ish musical group!
To help get you started, here's a couple of quick suggestions: The Smashing Pumpkins, Cheap Trick, or The Black Crows.
The only requirement is that your musical groups' name reflects some aspect of Halloween. You might want to consider: costumes, trick or treatin', skeletons, graveyards, black cats, ghosts, witches, spells and potions, and so on.
The best way to track down a CD cover image is by doing an image search on google.com. When you arrive on the site, click on "image search" in the upper tool bar and type in your search query. Easy-peasy!
I heat embossed my images with "Ultra Deep Snow Fall" embossing powder, cut out the images, trimming closely, then used
Finally, I added some grosgrain ribbon, and punched out some leaves with a craft punch. So easy, it's spooky!
And here's how I rocked it with my card.....
I got the purple, the bling and the touch of orange. And, forget the rockin' pumpkins--- I've got a rockin' cat ... and a bunny! FYI: that's a Halloween bunny! LOL!
This card was so fun to put together because - when you look at it- it's basically just patterned paper and some fun embellishments. there is one - yes - one stamped image - the spider web on the tag (Hero Arts). That's it!
I used the Halloween Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets for my main image. Gotta love the kitty rockin' out! I sewed around the outside of my cotton scrap and frayed the edges a bit. Mat it on to some black and polka dot glitter paper (Hobby Lobby) and then assemble!
The purple background paper is also from Hobby Lobby as is the black sheer wired ribbon and silver cording. The "trick or treat?" tag is actually computer generated and was punched with a 1" circle punch and then matted on a 1-1/4" orange circle.
