Greetings friends. In the Christmas 2020 release, there was a series of dies that could be used individually to make a 2-D card or combined to make a 3-D ornament/home decor snowglobe. In the latest release, there are new dies that make spooky Halloween scenes.
To make my spooky 3-D scene, I started by sponging Distress Inks onto white cardstock. I always make at least two backgrounds when I get out my inks. I love having a spare. Once I sponged the ink, I then spritzed it with water to give it a mottled look:
Here are the colors I used:
I cut out the various layers for my scene using black cardstock:
Some of the things I would like to point out about the pieces:
On the wrought iron fence die, I cut it out a second time with grey paper and then glued the grey on top of the black.
I glued the Distress Ink background behind the last piece of the scene.
For the haunted house, I cut it out in grey paper then glued yellow cardstock behind the windows and glued brown cardstock behind the door. I then attached the grey house onto the black die cut piece.
The final piece is the Snowglobe backer that serves as a base for all the pieces.
Here is a closeup of the scene:
Last time I used the Snowglobe Backer to make a holiday card, I placed the big flap of the die on the front of the ornament. I thought it looked like a snowbank for my scene. For the Halloween project, I had the flap in the back because I didn't want it to obstruct the fencing. You can use the backing die either way and it will work out just fine.
Have a great weekend!
