I'd forgotten I bought a fun Halloween stamp set from Lil Inker just before their store closed, so when I finally opened my tub of Halloween stamps, dies, and papers, I was surprised to find new stamps and dies I'd forgotten I had! LOL I keep my supplies organized in 12x12 containers and mark the front, so I only pull out what I'm currently working on. I decided to cut up some random strips of Halloween dsp and place them on a black panel, then tilted that panel on purple, which then went onto an orange card base. The bat was die-cut at a friends house years ago and I think it's by Darice, but not sure. I used paper punches to create the eyes, covering them with glossy accents. The little "boo" tags were in a plastic bag, stamped and punched with retired SU! products. I dotted them with some black Nuvo dots. The main sentiment is by Lil Inker from one of my new/forgotten stamp sets, and was cut out with a Marvy Ticket punch.
I'll enter this card into the following challenges:
NBUS challenge #18 - my "Never Before Used Schtuff" is the sentiment.
the Snippets Playground challenge #386 - must use snippets
With Halloween just around the corner, I knew it was time to get started on my cards, so there's one for the box!
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Tuesday!
Carol

BIG thank you Carol on your complimentary comment...hugs. xxx
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this Halloween card Carol?!! I love the bat with googly eyes, gives him such character. I love the way you have used strips of DSP on the black panel-great way to use up some snippets for sure! Love it on top of the purple panel, makes the dsp pop. Those little tags with "boo" on them are way to cute! Then there is the big sentiment, so stinkin' cute! I guess I'm here for the boo's too. lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to use up all those strips of paper! Sadly, I went through a tossing period and guess where all mine went?
ReplyDeleteFun and cool card, you got a fabulous background with your snippets and love how you made the bat's eyes with punch and glossy accents! <the tiny tags are so fun and also cute!
