Batty to the Bone

Hi friends!

Aren’t these bats just the cutest little things?

These sweet bats are from the this month’s new release at Ink n’Splatter Stamps. These little cuties are from the Little Boy Boos Halloween Stamp Set. Coordinating dies are available here.

The sentiment that I used on my card is from the Sweet and Spooky Halloween Stamp Set, which also has coordinating dies available here.

These little cuties were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on X-Press It Blending Card and and were colored with the following markers.

~Copics~
Bats: W6, W5, W4, W3, W2, W1, W0, R20, R30, R00, R000 – White Gel Pen
Pumpkins: W4, W2, W1, W0, R20, R00
Moon: W4, W3, W2, W0, W00, YR30, E40
Fine details were added with Prismacolor Pencils

I had the coloring done and images cut out before I even knew what I was going to do with them. I had recently purchased the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Die and the coordinating Platform Pop-Up Add-on and decided I would try a box card for a change.

The paper I chose had an orange print on the opposite side, so I had to come up with some creative thinking so that wouldn’t show…orange kind of clashes with pink…lol! Once I had that all figured out I dug through my dies to find things that would go together and that would fit inside the box.

With the box, grass, fence, and tree being all black I decided to cut out some cloud shapes to resemble a creepy ground fog.

To create the moon, I die cut a circle with the X-Press It Blending Card and just started blending colors together until I thought it looked like a moon.

The bckground for my card is from the ‘Tonight We Ride 6×6 Pattern Paper Pad‘. The papeer was the perfect backdrop for this little cutie!

Some of the die cut pieces were cut out of black and white to make them stand out a little more against the dark blue.

Thanks bunches

Hello and welcome!

Can you tell how much I love the color pink and that I have a great love for flowers? I could spend the entire day out in my gardens! I am always excited when the flowers are in full bloom.

My design team project for I Am Roses today features an older stamp from Stampingbella called Daisy Squidgy.

I stamped this darling image on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with the following markers.

R5-15 – Indian Jasmine (1″or2.5cm) White Paper Flowers
S10-921 – Size 5/8″ or 1.5 cm – Small Achillea Cottage – White – Soft Pink Center

I am always trying to find different ways to make the dies that I have work for my project. With that being said the white strip behind the image was too long for my card, so I cut a chunk out of the middle of it and glued it to the pink matting behind it. As it is behind the image you can’t see that it was pieced.
