Clean 'n Simple Halloween Card For "A Blog Named Hero's" September 2021 Challenge!

 Hello!

Seems a little early for Halloween, but Fall is only a weeks away! 

This month's challenge is "Clean 'n Simple" truth be told, I am cheating a little bit.  My understanding is a clean and simple card is one layer, mostly white (or lots of empty space) with little or no adornments.  I simply can't wrap my head around it! 

Most supplies are linked below (some aren't available and are left out.)  All I did was mask off the center of my Hero Arts Spider Web stencil and applied orange ink.  Since it was showing the positive area as white, I applied Ranger's Halloween glitter using a fine tip glue along the strands.  Let dry before removing excess.  (Pro Tip:  this glitter is awesome, but super fine and super hard to clean up.  Ask me how I know!  It's so full of static it sticks to my water mat and everything else.  So contain the bling carefully!

I heat embossed blank ink with clear powder for the sentiment (from a past MMH kit that's sold out.)  I added a couple googly eyes and a few spider confettis I had in my stash.

The "A Blog Named Hero" challenges are now held over on our Instagram page @ablognamedhero so be sure to enter there for a chances at a $50 and $25 Hero Arts shopping spree!  The challenges go from the 1st through the 26th of each month.

I hope you are beating the heat and enjoying what is left of Summer!

Until next time,
