Frightful!

                       Hello! I thought I would make a very simple card for my first Poppystams post.  I took the  Scary Background die and embossed it, on shimmery paper. Then I cut it out on black paper and used the letters GRIM and added them to the card. When I cut out my web I only adhered it in a few spots because I wanted the webs to be only slightly tacked down.  

 

This is what my card looked like before I added the Grim, 

I think I like the added word.  

 

      

This is the sandwich I used to emboss, using the die. Check what your machine recommends.

 

 

Even though the spider web is very intricate, it comes out with pure ease! This was very easy to make and its nice and flat for mailing. 

Thank you for all your kind comments on my blog hop card.
