“Sew” Cute Ghost Card
Halloween's just a few days away, so I thought I'd whip out a ghost-themed tag / mini card. To make it, I used DCWV Bewitched paper, fabric, Hero Arts alphabet stamps, Colorbox ink and yarn. I drew the ghost on white fabric with pencil, then I sewed around it with my sewing machine and inked the edges to add some shading. After that, it was just a matter of layering the different elements.
After my card was finished, I attached it to a test tube filled with candy bones. The test tube is from Martha Stewart's Halloween line of products. Sometimes the hardest part of a "test tube treat" is figuring out what to put inside. So here's a list of candy and their accompanying creepy names:
Gummy worms: Medusa Hair
Good and Plenty's (white): Troll Teeth
Mike and Ike's: Dragon Toes
Jelly beans: Lizard Larva
Certs (left in the cylinder packaging) or other mints: Vampire Repellent
Coconut M&M's (white): Spider Eggs
Cinnamon Red Hot's: Slug Hearts
Candy pebbles: Swamp Rocks
Licorice (black): Rat Tails
Very cute!!! I love this idea.
