I Gotta Crow

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Actually my friend has a crow and she let me borrow it to use for 
Halloween cards for the grandsons.

Here's the first one...


I die cut the crows from black glimmer paper and assembled them.  The branches
were cut from plain black cardstock.

All the backgrounds were in the smooshed and splashed background stash and
embossed with my spiderweb embossing folder.  (Always a favorite at Halloween.)

Here are the other two....


I used a background done with Lindy's Magicals. It has a nice shimmer.
The spiderweb was swiped with my white ink pad to make it stand out more.

and the final one.....


This background was pretty light so I swiped the web with a black inkpad.  The 
sentiment was embossed with some Lindy's sparkly orange embossing powder.

All the eyes are punched from a snippet of gold foil.

Challenges:
Just Us Girls #791 - ATG with Dies
Two Old Bats - ATG Halloween
I.D.E.A.S. - D is for Dies

"I've got to crow" - I can see Mary Martin (excuse me) Peter Pan singing this song. Such fun you had with your spider webs but where is the spider? I guess the crow ate him ...... I LOVE the orange background but I must admit - the last card looks very spooky.

What great Halloween cards for the grands, Bonnie! These remind me of Therese's Same But Different cards, each one with unique details.
