Digital Lace Borders & Bats

OK this is definitely my last Halloween post for this year

though I could go on forever!

 

For this card I used the large lace border

(from my free download a little further down).

I mounted it onto a slightly wider length of black card

and attached it to my card using double sided tape.

 

The bats are also a free download.

 

1) I printed the whole 'bats' sheet onto white copier paper

then roughly cut round bats  9, 7  & 5.

 

2) Attached them to black card,

using repositionable glue.

 

3) Cut them out of the black card.

 

4) Stamped the large bat (no.9) using VersaMark ink

and embossed with clear embossing powder. 

I used a stamp from Autumn Leaves 'elegant flourishes'.

 

5) Stamped bat no.7 using flitterglu and

black holographic glitter.

 

6) Stamped bat no.5 using VersaMark and clear

embossing powder. 

For bats 5 & 7 I used a small flourish from

Crafty Secrets clear art stamps set 'Flourishes'

 

7) Layered the bats together, large up to small, by gluing

the bodies together.

 

8) Curled the wings and attached one 3mm foam pad 

under each wing - close to the bat bodies.

 

9) Added a small amount of black holographic glitter to the body.

 

10) Attached the layered bats to my card with a little glue

under the body.

 

11) Finished with a Gothic label from my earlier post

'Gothic Labels Happy Halloween'

I highlighted the details with black holographic glitter

and attached it to my card using 3mm foam pads.

I can see the lace borders working well for Christmas too.

Try printing them onto coloured paper or card for a different

effect.
