Spider, Spider in the Pot

      I couldn't resist this spider who clearly fears for his life!  Spiders are my most unfavorite creatures on earth - just looking at pictures of most spiders makes my stomach shudder and turn over.  I don't even take down cobwebs until there are so filled with dust and grime that I'm sure no self-respecting spider would live there any more.  So, seeing a spider about to be boiled bothers me not at all !  lol

     This image is from a collection by Zigi Design Studio which I bought recently and many were used this Halloween, including this one on another card which I posted earlier.  All the images come pre-colored but they can easily be printed in grayscale and colored with Ohuhu markers &/or colored pencils.  Printing in grayscale means that you already have all the shadows and highlights and that allows you to shade in exactly the right spots.

     The image was cut with a QuicKutz die, the edges were inked, and I matted it with a scrap of orange CS.  The striped paper is from a Recollections stack.  The sentiment was printed and then cut with an Avery Elle die.  Simple, quick, and easy to mail.


     Challenges:

     I should have two more Halloween cards between now and the start of November.  I made so many cards this year, I had to mail Halloween greetings to everyone in my family and a few friends besides.  :-D  
     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
