Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! To me, this photo is both spooky (bats) and fun (colors!) Quite the combination!
Banner Year
The bats in Stampin’ Up!’s Banner Year are actually kind of cute, especially when paired with these bright colors! To represent the “balloons” in the inspiration photo, I used the image in Life is Beautiful stamp set!
Stampin’ Details:
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White was stamped with the dotted image in Life is Beautiful stamp set with Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Inks on the top and the bottom.
- It was embossed with the Cobwebs Embossing Folder and added to the base card.
- The greeting from Banner Year was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Pumpkin Pie and punched with the Timeless Label Punch, then popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The bats from Banner Year were stamped six times with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White and hand cut, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Artistry Blooms Sequins were added to the background for a little bling!
Isn’t that a fun Halloween card? I think I captured the look of the Inspiration challenge, don’t you? OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
