Hello everyone!! I seriously need to find more hours in my day or maybe more days in my week. But I have a feeling most of us feel this way. So much to do and so little time to get it all done! Anyway, as promised, I am back today with one more "batty" Halloween card. I wasn't planning on making two cards with the bat stamps but, while I was making yesterday's card another Halloween card with bats popped up in my Facebook feed - it was THIS one from my friend Justin's blog. He had embossed bats with black embossing powder on black cardstock. I had never thought of doing that and had to give it a go too!
I started with an A2 top folding card base, adhered a piece of orange cardstock to the card front, and then distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink.
Next, I cut a piece of black cardstock with one of my stitched rectangle dies. Then I stamped the bat image from my Halloween Wishes set several times using Versamark ink.
Then I grabbed my heat gun, some Black Sparkle embossing powder by Ranger, and heat embossed the bats. LOVED how they came out! Once they cooled I adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back and then adhered this to the card front.
Next, I stamped the two banner images from my Halloween set - the smaller one onto white cardstock and the larger one onto orange cardstock. Then I stamped the phrase from my Happy Halloween set on the smaller banner - all with Onyx Black Versafine ink. Once dry I cut the two banners out and adhered the smaller banner on top of the larger banner.
I then put some pop dots on the back and adhered it to the card front.
The last thing I did....because the card was calling for them...was to glue down some small googly eyes on each bat.
Done! I really love how this card came out and it's a really quick card to make. Thanks Justin for the inspiration!! Let me know what you think of the card by leaving a comment below!!
As always, thanks for stopping by the blog. Until next time....
