It's been a while since my last kids card...so let's get started!
Halloween projects can be cute, artsy, vintage, creepy...or just plain scary. This is one of those scary ones...as in cool colors mixed in scary ways. The supply list sounds like a grocery list...Picante, Grape Fizz, Sour Apple, Apricot - and to carry it all home, recycled Brown Bag cardstock.
The Eeeeks! Design Adhesives ghost, flocked in white - and glittered CELEBRATE - are just two of the many ways Design Adhesives can add quick bling to any card.
