A Tiny Craft October ATC Challenge

Hello and welcome!

It's time for our third challenge at 

A Tiny Craft ATC Challenge!

As you may have guessed, the theme this month is Halloween! 👻

I created a trio of artist trading cards this time around:

Here are some close ups:

I recycled some cardboard for my cards. Coated them with gesso and once dry,

painted them with a couple hues of orange paint and let dry. Next I spread embossing paste

through a jack-o-lantern stencil, then sprinkled black embossing

powder over the pattern. I let them dry overnight then heat 

embossed. I thought that the orange was a bit bright so I smudged

black Staz On ink around the edges. (note: next time do this

before stenciling!) I fussy cut images from some Graphic 45 

paper and adhered with foam squares. I could have added more but

I didn't want to completely cover up the jack smiles in the background. LOL!

They are pretty shiny in real life:

Now it's your turn! I hope that you find some time to play along in our

Halloween challenge at A Tiny Craft ATC Challenge!

We'd love to see what you come up with.
