So, I started making cards in the fall of 2022. Halloween was actually my first card holiday. I had some cards that I now wince at and just can't bring myself to send out. Sooooo, I decided hey I could do a fun "fixer upper" . Maybe take a before picture and then do my best to make it look better so I could send it out for Halloween 2023. So here it is!!

So I think it's important to not underestimate the power of a white gel pen apparently. The cauldron looks better with the definition. The really badly embossed sentiment just had to go replaced with a much nicer stamped embellishment. Not much I could do without ruining the card to fix the layering of the cardstock, so I added dimension and texture with fabric paint to match the cauldron goop. The bigger green ribbon really helps to fill in the space at the bottom of the card as well. So much better!! Still not my favorite card, but I think there are some clear improvements!
Happy Halloween Card Making! Barbara
