Between me and the moonlight flitted a great bat...


The gorgeous image on my card today is Rio Gone Batty from the A Roberts’ Halloween collection at Simply B Stamps.  This one is modelled on Betty’s beautiful daughter Rio, pre her cute pixie haircut!




To make up my card I followed a sketch at Cardabilities, I found some lovely papers in my scrap draws that suited the sketch really well.  I tend to just add to my scrap piles rather than ever taking from them so I set myself a challenge to not cut a new piece of paper for this card and I’m proud to say I met that challenge.

While I was hunting out scraps I also came across a packet of Prima leaves that I bought last year, I think.  They weren’t even open but the colours worked well with my dusty pink flowers so I used them in my embellishment detail.  They’ve got a “forgotten things” challenge at Our Creative Corner and those Prima leaves were forgotten in a drawer so I’m entering my card in their challenge.

I love the slightly shabby and definitely vintage feel to Abigail Larson’s artwork and this image has both those elements to it so, with my paper roses, I think my card fits the current challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow so I’m entering it there too.

Don’t forget that we’ve got a layers challenge going on over at Simply Steampunk Challenges, you’ll note there’s just a few on my card!  You’ve got until 3 October to get your Steampunks layered up.
