Totally Batty

      I have been digging through the box of Halloween crafting supplies and found several items which I had completely forgotten or which I simply haven't used in ages.  I found these three, old, foam stamps (Does anyone remember those?  Cheap and usually in the discount bin.  :-D) with different bats. Perfect for Halloween.  The sticker tags which used to be on top have long ago disappeared so I have no idea what company made the stamps but I'd dare bet they were "Made in China."  lol

     I found an Onyx ink pad which also hasn't been used in several years but which still had enough ink to stamp the three bats onto lavender CS.  Before I cut them, I typed a sentiment, moved it into place so that it would print below the bats, then ran the CS through my printer.  I cut the image with a QuicKutz square die.  

     I colored the eyes with gel pens and added tiny, white, Vampire teeth to one of the bats.  I used two scraps of orange CS and mounted everything onto a black card base.  The sheer & satin, black ribbon came from Really Reasonable Ribbon and I tied a double loop bow using my bow maker.


This is also my Day 6 entry into the 

     Challenges:

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Really adorable card NC! Love the way you've done the eyeballs on the bats and the colors are perfect for Halloween! P.S. That bow is looking stunning!

I love finding items in my stash to use. And most the time no idea where they came from. Sometimes sales or even yard sales.

I love the vampire teeth on that little bat! I have a basket somewhere of those foam stamps with pumpkins (no idea where I got them!) but the gremlins have taken it away I think! :( These little guys are just so cute and I love the paper!
