Spooky Halloween Card by Amanda Wilcox

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!
