Ok Deb,  this one is for you! (I know not the one you received but I think you'll enjoy the other one better πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘» Happy Halloween to you my friend! πŸ‘»πŸ’€πŸ‘½

Now onto my card....
I made a slimline card and combined the Fuzzy Spiders clear stamp set with the NEW Slimline Toner Card Fronts Terror 2 and Slimline Waves die. 
To create the background I choose the Slimline Toner Card Fronts Terror 2 sheet with the spiders. I first inked it up using Distress Oxide inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Crackling Campfire, Seedless Preserves, Twisted Citron, Villainous Potion) and Whimsy Blending Brushes. Then I foiled the spiders using a sparkling silver toner reactive transfer sheet and my laminator. You can either ink the background first and foil afterwards or foil first and ink later. It works both ways.



Next I die cut the Slimline Waves die from black cardstock, cut my background layer to fit behind the Slimline Waves frame and adhered both to the front of a slimline card base. 
I stamped the images and sentiment onto Hammermill cardstock with black hybrid ink. There is not much coloring done on these images. Just the hats and the eyes of the spiders were colored with alcohol markers. 




I also added 3D glaze to the spiders eyes and Stickles Stardust glitter glue to the spider web and around the sentiment. On these close-up photos you can see the wonderful silver sparkle of the foiled spiders and the glossy eyes.  I love how the foiled spiders pop on the colorful background. These toner card fronts are super versatile.  




Here is a list of all Whimsy products used on my card:
