Zombies or Spiders?

Which of the two would scare you the most? I only ask because today I have two Halloween cards to show you, one with a Zombie and the other spiders.

I wouldn't ordinarily make Halloween cards as they are not something we give out, the kids get dressed up,( I usually end up painting faces) and go around family and the neighbours trick or treating, we always have a big bag of goodies to give out to our Halloween visitors, but we don't swap cards, so unless it is something to do with DT work I wouldn't normally bother, but earlier this year I found a Zombie word art at Graphicat which tickled me and I just had to have it, (with no idea when I would ever use it LOL!), and then a few weeks ago I came across a brilliant Zombie digital stamp at Just Inklined and knew it was perfect for the word art and this card is the result.

Here is a close up of the zombie, I gave him very bloodshot eyes and decoupaged his skull, eyes and eyebags, hair and hands. The eyeballs were given a coat of glossy accents, and instead of layering his hands flat I curved them forward and used a small foam pad under just the centre of each hand so that they look like they are reaching for you.

My daughter has already claimed this card for her friend's birthday next year as she is a big fan of Zombie movies and she thinks this would be perfect for her!

My second card was inspired by one of those vinyl wall art sayings, which once again tickled me, and a spider web border I found in one of the digital scrap booking stores I visit.

The spider webs have been glittered with black glitter and the spiders highlighted with glossy accents.
