Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!

Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota.  Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.   

Halloween Magit in the Night Save

To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink.  Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon.   It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

Other details:

  • The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  I did sponge the edges with Black ink. 
  • The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut. 
  • The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2" 

I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!

  • Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!

    I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in.  I just love creating a scene on my cards!  

    In the Grove swap . Save

    It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog.  You can see it here.  

    IN THE GROVE BUNDLE Save

    My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock. 

    Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds. 

    That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.

    To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.  

    I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too.  You can see both in the photo below:
