A Spidery Halloween

I need to get a few more Halloween cards created to send off to my sons, nieces and nephews. Everyone is high school and college age so cutesy won't work. They want edgy or spooky.

If you are like me you have lots of DSP. The holiday specific DSP can stack up due to its limited creating life, although SU does a nice job of adding some patterns that are year round. In an effort to use up some of the older DSP I used a combination of old and new Halloween DSP and stamps. The Licorice Lice piece is from Halloween DSP two year's ago (I can't believe that). The sentiment came from a monhtly Photopolymer stamp set when SU was just introducing Photopolymer stamps.

The color combination is Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Very Vanilla. And my inspiration came from the Freshly Made Sketch this week by the very talented Cindy Hall, such a great versatile sketch.

Bite me is not a term I would ever use yet with the spiders and their webs it worked. A nephew in high school will love this.

And here is the inside...

I think this card turned out fun. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Wonderful card! One of my sons was born on Halloween, so I'm always looking for H-themed ideas. The "Licorice Lice" caught my eye right away. Love your choice of sentiment, and the giant spider web on the inside, too.

I agree, Michelle! This is a totally fun card and very appropriate for the teen-adult Halloween lover. Love your design, both front and interior. Thanks for the kind words about me! The feeling is mutual! Thanks for playing along with my sketch at FMS this week!
