Bat & Skull Halloween Card


Here it is again. "HALLOWEEN". I can smell it in the air, and feel it in my bones. I just love this time of the year. I didn't realize that one of the stamp sets are "RETIRED"! And actually used the "BOO" stamp.
Here is a list of what I used to make this card: Elegant Eggplant #105126, Pumpkin Pie #105117, YoYo Yellow( retired) #102824, all in cardstock. The following stamp sets used: From the Crypt # 115460, House of Haunts #111574, and Autumn Apparitions which is retired. Black embossing powder #103083, White Gel Pen #105021, Dazzling Diamond Glitter # 102023, Bat Punch # 119279, Crystal Effects # 101055, Multi-purpose glue # 104755, Anywhere Glue Stick # 104683.

Punch out Bats, should be able to punch out 4 bats to make 2 cards

Punch out Bats long ways on paper.

4 1/2" x 5 1/2" Cards.

Hold trim, measure.
Mark and cut.
Glue to Card.
Prepare cards for embossing. The Embossing Buddy help with static and keeps powder where powder needs to be.

 
I turn over stamp and ink this way. It helps to see where the VersaMark shouldn't be, and can be wiped off.


Stamp and press firmly, Sprinkle with Black Embossing Powder.

Heat set with Hot air gun.

Always remember to brand your card.

Stamp and cut out "BOO". Glue to Purple cardstock. Don't cut perfect, cut with a fashionable curves.


Make stitch marks on Bats

Use Crystal Effects or glue for eyes.

Using Tweetsers help in placing eyes.



So here is my goofy Halloween Card. I hope this will help you bring out the Halloween in you. Until next time, Happy Creatin' and stampin'
