Flying Bats Halloween Card

Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook squeezing in one more bit of Halloween inspiration before we switch gears to other fall fun! I love the new sentiment dies so I made sure to include one of those and you all know I love playing with stencils so that just felt right.

This card features:
Flying Bats Stencil
Halloween Greetings Die Set
Halloween Accessories Die Set
Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set

For my sentiment, I die cut the shadow from black cardstock and the words from bright green cardstock. I used a blending brush and inked up the top and bottom of the words so it's got depth and almost glows off the card. I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together.

 With the paste dry, I ink blended black soot distress ink from the top left corner down and out, fading as I went. Then I tore the side of the panel off for more distressing. I glued a strip of black cardstock to the right side of a top folding card base and popped the stenciled panel up with foam tape. I added the sentiment the same way. Then I wrapped twine around the top, tying it in a bow.

While I'm completely smitten with the way the card front turned out, I often like to add inside surprises to such simple cards. So I played with the Halloween Accessories die set and just make a jack-o-lantern with no kitty or puppy and glued it to the bottom corner. I grabbed my Halloween Postage Sampler stamps to add my sentiment and some more bats to the inside for good measure.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
