Batty for You

Here’s my card for this week’s Paper Smooches Sparks designer drafts challenge. I used the sketch for a love themed card with a seasonal Halloween twist.

I made a simple nighttime scene using the bat from the Falling for You set and a branch from the Hang Ups set on top of a purple dotted paper strip. The bat’s colored with Copic markers and its eyes are coated with Glossy Accents for a fun dimensional look. I used dimensional dots to attach the bat to the cardfront.

I combined two of the Falling for You set’s sentiments to get the “batty for you” that I stamped in purple ink to the right of the image panel. To emphasize the card’s love message, I finished the card off with a felt heart I found in my stash of embellishments, dressed up with a white button and some purple baker’s twine.
