A Wicked Birthday

Today I participated again in the TGIF challenges. This time, it was a sketch challenge. I love sketch challenges! I find that instead of being a challenge, they make card making easier. This week's sketch is pretty basic and leaves lots of room for creativity. But I kept my design pretty simple.

Supply List
For my card, I used the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. This paper has so many fun and creepy images with lots of amusing details - like the titles of the books.
​
I cut the books on the left of the card from another sheet of the paper that looks like library shelves full of spooky, creepy books. I scored a line between the books and then folded them and rolled the books slightly. Although it's hard to see in the photo, I wanted the them to look like individual books with raised spines. To help them keep their shape, I cut apart mini dimensionals and placed them under the books, then I put a thin line of liquid adhesive where the edges of the books are. This raises the inside of the spine while holding the edges down to the paper and gives each book a curved spine. 

Since the "Wicked" die cut overlapped the books, I had to put dimensionals on it as well. This required quite a bit of finesse as the type is fairly thin and I had to cut the already small mini dimensionals into smaller pieces. 

I also popped the little spider on a dimensional and added a line in black to make it look like the spider was hanging off the words.

Since I can never seem to make just one card, I made a second, very similar card, using different patterns from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper. I cut the spider from some green glitter paper I had in my stash to give it a little glitz. 

I had a lot of fun with this week's sketch challenge. It was a wicked good time!
