Open if You Dare

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

It's class week so it's pretty busy around here, but I squeezed some time to
put this Betterpress image on a card.


It was pressed with Betterpress ink on their paper and cut with an arch die.
I backed it with the next larger arch cut in black.

It's colored, rather sloppily (but it's for Halloween and doesn't need to be 
pretty) with Zigs.

I added a bat and spider for a little extra fun.

I'm thinking I'll add a skull on the inside to pop up when opened.

A pop-up skull would be the piece de resistance for your scary Halloween card, Bonnie. Love all the details.

It seems you thought "outside the box" for your container - lol. What a fun surprise, and an inside one would be very fun -- great Halloween card, Bonnie

Hello, Bonnie! Your little bony guy is quite cute, but those spooky eyes in the chest with him are another thing! Great card - thank you for bringing it to us at Two Old Bats.
