Night of Frights - Whimsy Stamps

 

For this card I paired the Halloween Night stamps and dies with the Bat's Galore embossing folder, all from Whimsy Stamps, and threw in some Halloween Distress Mica Stains from Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink. I thought the little bats in this set of stamps were just darling and wanted to showcase them.

 Here is the video tutorial for this card. Enjoy!

It's difficult to photograph the shimmer on this card from the Mica Stains but it is in every layer!

I colored the bats with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

Here you can see some of the Mica Stain shimmer from Ominous Twilight in the purple layer, Iron Gate in the black card base, and the specks of orange from Jack-o-Lantern.

Although this sweet little bat was stamped and cut out as part of an image with one of the witches in the set, I don't use witches or witch imagery in any of my makes, so it was easy enough to just hand cut the connecting section so he could shine all on his own.

You can see that on the orange background that I did flick some Black Soot Oxide onto the orange before I stamped the sentiment on.

Here you can see the contrast of the shimmery purple and the matte black bats from the Distress Black Soot Oxide. I love the contrast.

I added a second sentiment on this card because I felt like it needed it. It brings your eye all the way down the card.

The Halloween Wishes is from a longer sentiment in the set that says Hugs and Kisses & Halloween Wishes, but since my space was limited, I cut the top half off and just stamped the bottom line. I can still easily stamp them together in the future if I want, or separately again.

I hope you enjoyed this fairly simple Halloween Night card an that it inspires you to give something a try that you have been meaning to get to or that you want to learn.
