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.   

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!
