Spooky {Vintage Style}
OK, I admit it’s been a bit spooky around here. Pretty Paper Blog has had a little ‘Halloween Fest’…or something of that nature.
Going along with the same theme (it’s finally October and appropriate) I made this little “Spooky” garland for Karen at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. She’s celebrating her Boutique’s 2nd Anniversary (I’m sure I’m scrapbooking away up there as you read this post).
I cut letters for the “SPOOKY” garland from chipboard, spread on some Mod Podge, then sprinkled on some silver glass glitter. The cool thing about the glass glitter is that it will eventually tarnish and give the garland that “vintage” look.
For the back side of this Spooky Garland, I used Vintage Tarot Cards (I picked them up at a local Antique Store).
This is what the back-side of the banner looks like:
I hope you all have a SUPER weekend!

I’m sorry it has taken me soo long to get to you…there were a few blogs I was having trouble with leaving comments and your’s was one…uggh!! Don’t you just hate it when that happens! Anyway…I’ll have to stop by and read some more!! Love love love that spooky garland!
The garland is fabulous! Love the two-sided look. Cindi
That is great! And those tarot cards are spooky in and of themselves. So cute!
I LOVE this!!
Love the banner. I actually get to go to a crop this Friday, so I might be able to do some Halloween stuff. That’s some of my favorite stuff to work on. Thanks for sharing!
The vintage cards are the best part. What a great idea.
I’m so glad I got to see you and your vintage style garland IN PERSON at Karen’s store this weekend!! Love the silver glass glitter and tarot cards – they’re the perfect touch to your Spooky garland! (I picked up some tarot cards a while back to use in a Halloween project but guess what—they’re still sitting in my scrapbook room….) You’re so great about actually USING the supplies you pick up! Can I crop with you???
I think the tarot cards on the back are almost cooler than the front. Neat idea…
Christie, Christie, Christie!!! I never thought of doing the Mod Podge with the glitter. That’s a great idea!!! Does it hold the glitter on well? My biggest issue with glitter is that it gets EVERYWHERE. I try to avoid using it on my pages, but I do love how it sparkles. I just hate the mess.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you used the tarot cards. You creative thing you!
