I understand where the &#8216;frightful&#8217; comes from, I have a lot of American friends and bloggers among my followers, but we don&#8217;t celebrate Halloween in The Netherlands so this theme was quite a challenge for me! I decided to throw my birthday in the mix and make a card that you can use to send to someone who celebrates a birthday at Halloween. Or, when you alter the sentiment, this could be a card to invite your friends to a Halloween party. Are you in the mood yet?<\/p>\n<p>Well, let&#8217;s move on to the tutorial then:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut a heavy white paper or cardstock to card size (this example is approx. 5&#8243; x 7.5&#8243;)<\/li>\n<li>Paint the background with orange acrylic paint. You could also take a piece of orange card stock for the basics, but I like the texture of the paint strokes on the background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/01-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21085\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/01-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\" alt=\"01-tutorial-halloweenbdayca\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/01-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/01-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/01-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Next, stamp with Versamark and Jessica Sporn&#8217;s stamp <a href=\"https:\/\/rubbermoon.com\/collections\/jessica-sporn\/products\/krishna-js5242g-rubber-art-stamp-1\" target=\"_blank\">Krishna<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Emboss the image with black embossing powder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/02-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/02-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\" alt=\"02-tutorial-halloweenbdayca\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/02-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/02-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/02-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Shiva image does not look frightful or scary at all, and because I want this to be some sort of &#8216;scary&#8217; card I looked for images of &#8216;scary eyes&#8217;&#8230; After flipping through many (many!) magazines, cutting out all sorts of eyes, I still had not found what I was looking for so I went online and found some drawings that I could use the eyes from.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/03-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/03-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\" alt=\"03-tutorial-halloweenbdayca\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/03-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/03-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/03-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Give the face a different, more scary look by gluing different eyes over the stamped image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/04-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/04-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg\" alt=\"04-tutorial-halloweenbdayca\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/04-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/04-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/04-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Next, take Jessica Sporn&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stencilgirlproducts.com\/stencil-hands-jessica-sporn-p\/l179.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hand stencil<\/a> and find the first hand you want to use.
