Halloween spells

 For the final time using the amazing Halloween Spells pattern papers and sticker sheets let me introduce you to Frankie the cutest little monster of them all! Inspired by the sentiment on the sticker sheet he is super easy to create!

All you need is cardstock,  scissors, a corner rounder, a black marker pen and googly eyes 👀.  Start with a green rectangle of cardstock and a smaller piece of black cardstock.  The black needs to be the same width as the green but shallower. Cut a zig zag edge along one of the sides that is the same width as the green cardstock.  Adhere the black to the green and round the top corners.

Now give Frankie his cheeky features with the marker pen . Next adhere his eyes. If you don't have googly eyes then small black circles with slightly larger white ones adhered together will work too.

The gorgeous stripy pattern paper works so well with the solid blocks of colour from Frankie and the sentiment don't you agree?

For the non-halloween version of the Frankie card I have used the same layout but rotated it 90°. Now in a landscape orientation but still keeping the larger rectangular blocks. The background paper is actually the reverse of the stripy one! Isn't double sided paper great!

I used the stripy paper for the rectangular focal piece. By stamping and then colouring the beautiful single flower from the Simply Zinnia bundle in the same colours of the paper it brings it all together.

Using the corner rounder on the paper and sentiment strip also makes it look cohesive.

Both cards are quick and easy to achieve but which do you prefer?  Cute Frankie? Or pretty Zinnias?
