Young Crafters Unite challenge #2 and Simon Says Stamp Challenge – Halloween/Goth

Young Crafters Unite challenge #2

Young Crafters Unite posted their second challenge, which is to make an envelope that matches your card. I had a lot of fun with this one because I decided to make the card rely on the envelope in order to make sense.

I’m also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge for the their Halloween/Goth week!

It's a matter of perspective, really ...

I used a shape cut a few times with my Silhouette as the base of the card. Then I added the colors with distress inks before stamping the images. I’m not sure if you’ll notice in the photo that the cobwebs have little hints of glitter pen to make them appear more like gossamer.

Your trick is my treat!

Your trick is my treat!

I limited the color palette to add to the stark, creepy effect. I also stamped and inked the flip side of the envelope.

I stamped the back of the envelope to complete the look.

There’s still another couple of days to enter the challenge if you like this idea of embellishing your envelope to match your card. I know I’ll be doing it again!

    wow, I love how you took the challenge to another level by connecting the phrase on the card and the envelope. That is so awesome and creative!
