Cloudy With a Chance of Bats

My last Halloween card this week was made using more retired product (I have a lot of Halloween stuff). I've had so much fun playing and you can expect to see more Halloween stuff coming!

Supplies

Card Base:

Gorgeous Grape 5-1/2" X 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half on the score line

Cardstock:

Basic Black: 2 pieces 4" X 5-1/4" (one for outside, one for inside)

Basic White: 3-3/4" X 5" (for inside) + 2-1/2" circle for the moon

DSP: 

Vellum Specialty Paper About a 2" X 10" strip to use with the cloud punch

Artistic Blooms 3-3/4" X 5" (retired)

You could easily recreate the look of this DSP by using your blending brushes to blend the background. 

Black Glitter Paper is from Hobby Lobby. It is very thick so I had to peel apart the layers so I could punch the bats from it.

Stamp Set & Dies: 

Bewitching stamp set (retired)  for the stars inside, Fright Night Dies for the "EEK!", Under the Moon

Punches: Cloud Punch (retired), 2-1/4" Circle (I don't have a punch this size. This must have been a scrap piece of cardstock from a kit I had laying around or something.)

Shimmer Stars Foam Stickers (retired)

Happy Halloween

I really love making Halloween cards. Halloween holds a special place in my heart. My mom always made us home-sewn costumes that were very fun and detailed. She made it such a good time. She passed away when I was 19 so Halloween helps me feel close to her.

I used retired DSP for the background of this card along with a little ink blending and water droplets. But you could achieve the same look via ink blending a background and dropping water on it (sloppily I might add ha ha). It's a shame you really can't see the sparkle of the Wink of Stella. The web is really sparkly in real life!
