This card is for the Teapot challenge for a young boy who needs some cheering up since he has a rare, painful skin condition. He's 14 years old, so I didn't want it to be cute. I'm a former Middle school teacher, so I know most kids that age like spooky stuff!
It's also for the letter "H" ABC challenge.
I was experimenting and wanted some texture, so I used my heat gun and black glue to create the spider web. I had painted the background on watercolor first. Then spattered bg with black ink.
I stamped and die cut spiders and skull and crossbones, adding Stickles glitter to them. I stamped and embossed the sentiment in red, cut it out and sponged the edges with black. I popped up images and sentiment with 3D pop dots. I added some silver Stickles to web, then layered completed panel onto red Stardream paper and black card stock. tfl

What a fabulous background you created and then a black glue spider web?! I didn't even know they had black glue. I was just looking at the hot glue embossing tutorial on SCS and this made me think of that tutorial. Great texture with your spider web, I think this is perfect!
