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

Gracie, this is so incredibly creative- and cool! I had no idea there was such a thing as black glue, and what a great way to use it to make a spiderweb. Wow! Your background is fabulous and sets a great stage for all your spooky/sparkly elements. Rhys is going to adore this card you made just for him. ~Karen.
