Halloween Cards

I might have gotten a little over-excited at Halloween - I usually end up making more cards then I have people to give them to. These were pretty easy, I cut out the shapes with a craft knife and then stuck some red tissue paper over the back, so the idea is to have them back-lit. Maybe with a candle for the spooky flickering effect, but taking care not to let the card catch fire! The cut-out shapes can also be re-used to create a negative-space effect of the same image, but you have to be careful to cut it out neatly! You can see that I have done this method with the rattie cards right at the top. Some shapes work better than others though, so there were a few that I tried that technique with but they didn't turn out.
