Candied Bat

One from this year’s Teen Scene Trick or Treat collection, this is Miss Batty Rio.

 

This tag is going to accompany a Halloween gift that I fear is going to end up rather late, there is so much to do I am way behind schedule.

The tag follows the sketch at Pals Paper Arts, I just used a tombstone for my base instead of a plain old rectangle.  For my embellishments, I’ve cut the bats out of some G45 Steampunk Spells paper and put them on a foam square, it’s a bit hard to tell in the pic, but I’ve folded up their wings a bit for added dimension.  I've also used my Wink of Stella pens on the candies to give them a hint of sparkle.

I’ve stuck with two traditional Halloween colours, black and purple, on my tag, well, with a smidgy-widgy of other colours on the bats and candies.  So I’m entering in the current challenge at Paper Crafting Journey.  And with all the batty elements to this I’m also linking it up at the current Unruly Paper Arts’ challenge.

Mummies and Spiders and Skulls, Oh My!

It’s officially the start of the 13 Days of Halloween festivities at Simply B Stamps where there are 13 fun challenges posted over October, all with a suitably gruesome Halloween theme.  The first one was to “make your own Creepy Background” and here is my effort featuring one from the vault, Jude Mummified, from the Teen Scene Halloween 2012 collection.

 

I’ve made an ATC, which will go onto a layout in a Halloween album I’m putting together, more on that later in the month.  To do up my background I’ve used some paper tape, distressed some cardstock and stamped on an image from IndigoBlu.  I really like how this turned out, especially how the spider is only just creeping on to the page, pretty nifty placement given it is a rubber stamp (no seeing where the image is located) and I stamped after I distressed.

To make up my ATC I followed the sketch at Feeling Sketchy, I swapped out the chevrons at the bottom for my sentiment sticker.  As this is going to a boy this Halloween I hope it is suitably male enough for the C...is for Challenge current challenge and, as a mummy is a mythical being (at least a walking one is) I’m also linking it up at Cards for Men.
