Frosted Designs - Chipboard challenge

Hi everyone, it's time for a little Frosted Designs Monday inspiration to get you motivated to enter our weekly challenge, which is CHIPBOARD!!  You can get some great inspiration to get you motivated, here, here, here, and of course here! No excuses now, go play!

I used my Cricut to cut out the heart and inserted the spider's thread into one of the openings and secured it with dry tape and then glued the heart onto the paper. The spider is lifted up just a notch just to bring it up to the same level height as the chipboard. I also added a smidgen of black gelato around the outside edge of the spider web for a little shadowy effect.

I used my paper trimmer to cut strips of chipboard for the border around the card. Painting it with black acrylic paint and then coating the border strips with crackle for a little more spooky interest.

Craftin Desert Diva's Link Party - #13 Anything Goes

donnybrook: noun

free-for-all, brawl

 

interesting tid bit:

The Donnybrook Fair was an annual event held in Donnybrook—then a suburb of Dublin, Ireland—from the 13th to the 19th centuries. The fair was legendary for the vast quantities of liquor consumed there, for the number of hasty marriages performed during the week following it, and, most of all, for the frequent brawls that erupted throughout it. Eventually, the fair's reputation for tumult was its undoing. From the 1790s on there were campaigns against the drunken brawl the fair had become. The event was abolished in 1855, but not before its name had become a generic term for a free-for-all.

Do you get the occassional Christmas card when you didn't send them one? I got 2 this year so I am sending New Years Eve cards out to them. Works doesn't it? Hope so anyway, I always feel bad that someone sent me a card and I didn't send them one. Guilt is a wonderful thing. lol Usually I don't send out New Years Eve cards but I also have 3 thank you cards to send out too, so I emcompassed them all into a New Year Eve's card making marathon. 

They are all variations of the card above. That one is going into the Art MoB for sale :)
