Technique: Spooky Background Halloween Card

September 8, 2015 by Heather Holbrook

Technique: Spooky Background Halloween Card

The cool background on this spooky Halloween card was achieved by apply several different colors of dye ink pad to a nonporous craft mat, spraying water and then placing the cardstock over top for a type of marbling effect. Add some die cuts or solid stamped images over the background for a quick and easy card. Find out more about this technique over on the My Favorite Things blog.
