Step One
Cut your various coloured matt and layers ready to build your card and pop to one side.

Stamp your Halloween wreath onto some black card using an embossing ink pad and sprinkle over white embossing powder. Then use your heat gun to cure your powder.
Step Three
Fussy cut around your wreath.
Step Four
Take a piece of black card and die cut a circle (that's a similar size) then adhere the wreath to the die cut. Die cut a piece of white and orange card in increasing size of circles.
Step Five
Using your Halloween fluffy stuff collection pop small blobs of colour around to wreath to look like baubles. Use your heat gun to puff up the fluffy stuff.
Step Six
Using some black ink, stamp a couple of pumpkins onto some orange card and a bat onto some white card. Use the green fluffy stuff to cover the stalk on the pumpkins and the purple to cover the bat wings. Take your heat gun and puff up the fluffy stuff.
Then fussy cut around the images.
Step Seven
Take a piece of the patterned paper from the pad and stamp a cobweb on two opposite corners with clear embossing ink. Then use then white embossing powder and cure with a heat gun.
Step Seven
Stamp some spiders into the cobwebs using black ink and then pop a blob of black fluffy stuff onto the body of the spiders and heat set.
Step Eight
Take a small scrap piece of black card and stamp a sentiment onto it using clear embossing ink. Then cover with white embossing powder and cure with heat gun.
Fussy cut around your sentiment, this will then sit on some foam pads in the centre of your wreath for dimension.
Step Nine
Build your card together by sticking down the matt and layers. Use adhesive to stick flat or use foam pads to raise, depending on your choice.
Step ten
Add your wreath to the centre of your card as the focal point and then pop the pumpkins and bats around to give extra detail.
Step eleven
Add some gems and embellishments to add some extra detail if desired.
Happy Crafting!!
