Glittering

Kristi of Sunnypond Home and I agreed to make and exchange Halloween cards. Her beautiful card arrived this weekend.

Isn’t this the cutest Halloween card?

You can’t see it in this picture but she wrote a lovely note to me in gold on the bottom of the inside of her card.

I made mine using the Harvest Moon picture and idea from Clarice at Storybook Woods and mailed it to Kristi in a black envelope addressed using a white gel pen.

I printed the card front and back on my computer and enhanced with just a touch of glitter and glue from Martha Stewart. The back is all black and has a quote written in white from John Kendrick Bangs:

Bring forth the raisins and the nuts—
Tonight All-Hallows' Spectre struts
Along the moonlit way.

In doing this small project, I learned that I need to know more about paper crafting as Kristi and Clarice’s projects are so much more glorious. The MS glue was smearing my printed moon face so I only used a bit. In retrospect, I would have cut out the moon shape itself and altered the text placement on the back instead of leaving the card square.
