Halloween dance party card

I made this card for a Halloween contest.
I chose a non-standard size (20 cm x 20 cm) and many different materials (craft paper, glitter paper, twine, cardstock, inks, watercolors, alcohol markers and more)

I die cut and stamped pumpkins, ghosts and bats with the Die-namics/My Favourite Things Halloween set.

Last year, I used this same set to make an explosion box (HERE).

For the black background, I wanted something in stark contrast, but still within the range of classic Halloween colors!
1) I dabbed a gauze onto a white ink pad and then on the paper
2) I dripped white watercolor onto the paper by tapping the tip of a wet brush.

I've printed Halloween rhymes on craft paper

I've designed and colored the dance floor with alcohol-based markers

The mummies are digital stamps from Glimps

Flag banner, stroboscopic light and spiderweb are all hand cut/handmade.

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects and soy wax has an incredible scent throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented. G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
