I'm sharing a Halloween card today just to switch things up a bit.
I used a Taylored Expressions set of stencils to create the sky with some Wilted Violet DI, then added a die-cut bat (I think by Darice) along with some smaller bats done with stick stamps from Judith. I dug into my doo-dad container and found 2 small orange hexagon negatives and used them for eyes, adding black drawn-in circles and then some white glaze pen dots in the centers. I added a white fence done with a MS punch, then embossed the Gorgeous Grape panel with a SU! spider web ef and added a SSS pre-printed sentiment. I scribbled a snippet of white cardstock with a Neon FY1 Copic marker, then die-cut it with an IO ghost die, backing it with black for the eyes and mouth.
I'll enter this into the following challenges:
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge for March - a/g with this inspiration
Stamplorations March Stencil Challenge - always a/g
Addicted to Stamps and More #400 - use die cuts and/or stencils
Dies R Us Challenge #164 - a/g using dies from Dies R Us store
(I used the Impression Obsession ghost die)
Thanks so much for the visit and for taking the time to leave a comment! Have yourself a fun and fantastic Friday!
