Here comes Incy Wincy

I'm so excited about showing off this card because it contains so many new techniques for me. I was originally inspired by a sketch on CPS (which I then went and missed the deadline for - d'oh!) and by the For Fun Challenge - Googlie booglie, which is to use googly eyes on a card.

This card features an Incy Wincy Spider, that I made using a scallop punch. I made a spiral spring from card to help him 'bounce' around his web.  He's just spun a sentiment of 'Hang In There' which I stamped in white onto black card (Your Next Stamp - Nicely Negative Challenge). The spider webs were created using a Fiskars texture plate. I then lightly rubbed an inkpad over the raised embossed image.

I chose Incy as it tied in with Halloween (Stampin for the weekend - Challenge 49), the 'What's Buggin You?' challenge at Cute Card Thursday , 'Something Spooky' challenge for Polka Doodles Week 41and the Nursery Rhyme challenge over at Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #54.

I've never made a card using more than one fold before but when I saw that both Charisma Cardz #41 and the Crafty Cardmakers spotlight challenges were for fancy folded cards I thought I should rise to the challenge.

I added a cute ghost, using the free digistamp from Some Odd Girl, to the reverse. I applied black ink lightly using a dry baby wipe in a circular motion to give him a wispy look.

I added a 'Happy Halloween' and a 'Keep Out!' warning, then secured the card shut using a card latch and button. The final touch was the white edging, added using my Signo Opaque white gel pen.

I'd also like to enter this card in the Papercutz Challenge #63 as it's an 'Anything Goes' week.
