Julie B. was in my creative brain today when I came across a Betterpress-ed panel in my stash... thanks, Julie! Your colors at Color Hues #96 were just right!
I hadn't ever blended ink onto the Betterpress paper, so I didn't know what I'd end up with as it has quite a 'soft hand' to it. I needn't have worried...
I pressed two panels and blended the purple and orange distress inks a little differently on each - since I didn't need more Halloween cards,
I simply used one to cover my card base and popped the other on top.
That purple twine holds a little surprise on the inside:
I have my friend Marcia to thank for this bit of creepy fun - thanks my friend!
I found several googly eyes that fit the bill and a Halloween greeting
from an old 12 Kits packet! He wouldn't hold still for long... do they ever?
My resident KIA let me know that spiders often have 4 or more eyes and even found evidence of it on the web...
Ruined my night's sleep, but I was happy to oblige - upped the creep factor, right?
Hope you had a happy crafty weekend!

Beautifully ink blended, my friend! Four eyed spiders are definitely extra creepy! I didn't need to know that. EEK!
What a fun and clever Halloween card! Your ink blending is wonderful, and that spider is a fantastic surprise! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
Your background was blended beautifully Michele (don't you love how easily it blends on cotton cardstock??!!) and I love the Halloween impression plate! Your 4 eyed spider on the inside definitely brought up the creep factor, but in a fun way...loved it! Thanks so much for sharing this fun card with us at Color Hues! Hugs. :0)
What a SPOOKTACULAR card! Love that spider!! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
Only this spider can become a cutie! The 4 eyes are a great, as is your blending and pressed plate
So pleased I 'enabled' your little experiment on the Betterpress paper Michele, I do love that sparkly spider too! Thanks for slipping in under the wire at Color Hues! :)
Great card front and super creepy innerds! Wow! That is a funky looking spider! (Shudders)
Cute, cute! your sparkling spider inside is such a fun surprise. Four eyes..... who knew!!
This was the perfect vehicle for those colors and your sparkly spider is too much fun. YIKES to the real dude, though!!
The card front is faBOOlous with wonderful ink blending and a fun sentiment but it certainly gives no clue to what lies inside! Such a clever card, Michele. Your spider is creepy in a cute way, which is better than the real thing (except in the garden). Thanks for playing along at Color Hues!
Oh my, I can't stop staring at that 4 eyed (?) critter! So creepy cute! And your card blends purple and orange so beautifully with those googly eyed cuties!
