Boo-tiful things are coming your way!
This card features the Ghostly Meadows stamp from Unity Stamp Company with this adorable ghost floating among delicate wildflowers. What I love about this card is how the blending of ink colors brings the ghost to life against that dreamy, mystical background. The circular die-cut design frames it perfectly, making the ghost appear to be glowing from the inside out.
What Makes This Card Special:
- Whimsical Sentiment: The clever “BOO-tiful things are coming your way!” sentiment adds a playful, uplifting note to the card, steering away from the usual Halloween spooks.
- Circle Die-Cuts: The layered circle design frames the ghost in a simple, clean way, giving the card a polished and dimensional look.
- Spray Ink Background Magic: The rich, moody background was created using spray inks, blending those deep purples and reds for a mystical, foggy effect. It creates a perfect night sky that draws you in.
- Distress Ink Glow: I used distress inks to softly blend around the ghost, adding that ethereal glow, as if it’s lighting up the dark night. This subtle halo effect really makes the ghost stand out.
