My Boo-tiful Family

Hello.
I'm sharing something a little bit different today.
When I was down a Halloween Pinterest rabbit hole, I saw a couple of these ghost, family portraits and wanted to give it a go.

What do you think?


This was super easy to make. For each ghost I drew an arch of white acrylic paint, on my black card background, and used a plastic, palette knife thing, to drag the paint down. 
(It was the widest knife, from one of those cheap sets you get in Hobbycraft)

Then, I simply added eyes with a black Copic, bows for the girls and hats for the boys.
I drew a little spiders's web with a white gel pan.

What a delightful card! Before I read the post I thought you had maybe die cut a dryer sheet, or really flimsy felt, for your ghosts - I was amazed when I saw it was paint! And then you just freehanded a web and spider like it was nothing! One thing though....you should really warn people if you're going to jumpscare them at the end of a video like that. (-;
