Bats for You

I did not buy all the Halloween sets this year!  GASP!!  But the one I did buy is very versatile and I will show you a few new looks this week.  This card features the Ghosting technique.  Hard to see in this picture, but in person the Illuminate ink behind the Black gives an eerie glow!


The card base is Very Vanilla with a Smoky Slate mat.  The Bats from Halloween Hello were stamped first with Illuminate ink, then "Ghosted" with Black Stazon ink.  Stamp a bit left, a bit right, a bit above, a bit below.  However it ends up is perfect!  The Illuminate glows from behind.
 
I stamped the sentiment in Black Stazon directly to the mat and embossed with the Clouds embossing folder from the Occasion Spring mini.  The Moon is punched from So Saffron with the 1 3/4 circle punch.  Edges are sponged with Cajun Craze and the Moon is popped up.  I added a 1 inch strip of Witches Brew Designer paper and a strip of Witches Brew Washi tape.  A Great Man card for your sweetie or Son.
