Happy World Card Making Day :) I hope you get the chance to participate in this fun day and even though Patrick has a marching band competition, am hoping to get in at least one card :)
Today, I am showing you my card using this week's Dynamic Duos color combo - Cajun Craze and Island Indigo. At first, I thought I would do a masculine card, but then thought, you know these would be perfect for a Halloween card and since that is just down the road, went with it. I have always loved the spellbinders bats die cuts and knew I had to use those. I used the Unscripted Sketch from last week and really love both the sketch and the colors. I took the bats and colored them (while they were still in the die) with the opposing color to distress it a little bit. I used the island indigo ink on the ribbon to make it a little darker. I really do like how it turned out. I still can't believe we're talking Halloween already.
I hope you get a chance to join in this week and can't wait to see what great projects you show us.
Have a great Saturday
Janet

ReplyDeleteI agree that the bats are awesome. I've wanted to try the die inking technique and I love how you did yours!
ReplyDeleteLove how you've added ink to the bats while they were still in the dies. Adds to the "spookiness"!
