Happy Halloween

Hi there Folks, can't believe that it's that time again for Halloween ... not sure on how many we'll get at the door this year, as having moved house. It's great when all the little ones get dressed up, but some of the older ones don't but still want goody bags!! Anyways, with Halloween in mind, I'm here to share with you this little spooky fun door hanger that I created ...
My Project 

Products Used 
Trimcraft
Dovecraft - Glitter card, Sugar Skull die, Gems and 3d Paper flowers
First Edition - Foliage dies
Free Topper download

Little B - Halloween dies (Spider and Ghost)

From My Stash - Mountboard door hanger, Orange glitter card, Black glitter paper,  'Boo' embellishment, Halloween ribbon and Spider Web netting

To create this, I covered the front of hanger with green glitter card and added a layer of web netting. On top of handle, I added ribbon bow with die cut spider. For the main part, I die cut sugar skull, layering onto black glitter paper, added flowers and leaves, placing as shown. For the sentiment, I downloaded this freebie from Trimcraft Craft blog ... printed and added to bottom of hanger, addding die cut ghost, 'Boo' embellishment (which is for sticking in cakes) and finishing off adding die cut spiders, flowers and gems.

Trimcraft - Dovecraft 8x8 'Couture du Jour' and 'Painted Blooms' papers, Pearl gems, Glitter card, Butterfly and Sentiment dies, Lace ribbon
Creata - Mirror card
Britannia - Leaf die
Various paper flowers from my stash

I created this on a 7x7 card blank, shaping corners and using a combination of Dovecraft papers along with Creata mirror card. Instead of circles I decided to use flowers to spill out of envelope with added floating die cut butterflies. Finishing off with lace border and die cut sentiment.
