A little Halloween Card

Well, I am finally back. I have been so busy with my photography and then travelling to family weddings. It was great to sit down and make this little card.



I started with a quarter sheet of Basic Black cardstock I stamped the flourish image from the Majestic set by American Crafts with Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Since it is hard to see the images I stamped one at a time and then poured on the embossing powder but I didn't heat them until they were all done. Since the powder is white until you heat it you can see where the previous images were. I edged it with the EK Success punch and mounted it to Brushed Silver cardstock.
I then cut out the three label shapes using the Spellbinders Label Four set. I stamped the bat from Inkadinkado with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I then embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I added a silver bellyband and black grosgrain ribbon. I threw the in some black brads and voila we're all done. I have a large collection of metallic brad so I just use embossing powder to color them to match my cards.
I pretty simple but fun card. Of course everything in my house is covered in glitter. Have a Happy Halloween!!
