To create my card, I used the bat from Hello Kitty Greetings and cut him from a metallic silver paper. I cut the card base with George and Basic Shapes (having designed it on my Gypsy with squares and circles). The full moon (circle!) is also from George and Basic Shapes. I added a border punched with an EK Success punch and everything else was hand cut. I used some Deep Purple Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot as well. To make the bow, I first twisted the ribbon and then frayed cut the ends to create a more frayed look. I also cut the ends of the ribbon behind the sentiment. I added some doodling and gave my bat some gems for eyes and a nose to finish things off.
I can't wait to show you my projects tomorrow - and to have you join along in the My Craft Spot Release Blog Hop! Plus, ALL the new items will be revealed and ready to purchase. How fun!
