Magical Bats

Midnight greetings, spooky friends!  I can't believe we are heading into the last week of October already and on night 26 of the Hex-Travaganza, but here we are!  And to celebrate, I have some elegant bats.

I love the filigree look to these bats from Hallows Night Magic, and I paired them with the also fancy Magic In This Night DSP.  Once more, I have a CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch as my starting point:

I've used these bats (and this DSP) for another Hex-Travaganza card, but that's okay.  I still have a few uninked Halloween stamps so maybe next year I'll do a better job of using a different set every night (and yes, I am quite sure I have enough Halloween stamp sets to use a different one every night for the month of October!).  I have enjoyed the challenge of making so many Halloween cards this year so I plan to hex again next year.  After all, I haven't even made a dent in my Halloween patterned papers.

In the meantime, stay spooky, friends!

Supplies, all SU!

Magical Night

Midnight greetings, spooky friends!  I'm back with another Halloween card.

This one is all about the bats and that beautiful Magic In This Night DSP, I do love that black harlequin pattern.  And here is the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch I used as my jumping-off point for tonight's card:

The original catalog card was super springy in pastels:

Just more proof that a good sketch works in any season, am I right?

Stay spooky, friends!

Vintage Halloween

Mornin' y'all!  Hubs took yesterday off work so we did a bunch of running around, looking at light fixtures for our living room and stuff like that.  He's off today so we plan to go look at some antique shops while Ryan is at school.  And that kinda fits in with the challenge I played in today from As You See It:

 The challenge graphic is all creams and pastels but I decided to go vintage Halloween for my card : )

To me, vintage and shabby chic mean lots of layers, lots of sponging, lace trim, and All The Bling.  So first I dug out some black crochet trim and remembered the spiderweb doilies that I've had for years at this point.  Back in 2020, when the holiday catalog came out, we were in the big fat middle of moving to Germany and so I didn't get the Halloween stuff that year because I knew I would be craft room-less for several months.  Well, this year I bought that Halloween stuff on a Facebook group : )  And this is the maiden voyage for Hallows Night Magic; I did buy the Magic In This Night DSP back in 2020.  I used a couple of patterns and then stamped my Halloween greeting on white cardstock and sponged it with Smoky Slate and Basic Gray.  The spider is embossed with shimmery black embossing powder, do you remember that stuff?  I love it.  I also added a bit of Wink of Stella to the flowers just for more bling, and added a few black rhinestones.  I had so much fun making this, I am ready to start Halloween crafting!

That's it for me today, peeps.  I can't wait to break out all the rest of my Halloween crafting supplies : )  We're already having pumpkin coffee cake for Sunday breakfast because Ryan thinks it's great year-round (I have to agree with him on that).  Have a great day, y'all!
