Have a batty Halloween card

 October sees the start of the busiest time of my crafting year. Starting with Halloween and then on to Christmas.    Halloween is not really celebrated here in the UK, even if all the shops try their best to convince us we do in order to sell us even more things. I love it though. We have a pumpkin lantern that hubby carves and then we sit and watch old halloween films and eat pumpkin soup. As I have been crafting for a very,very long time I have lots of homemade Halloween projects that come out each year to decorate our home.     So my project today is a sweet little card for Halloween I made for The Fruit Pixie.

This is a stepper card using the backing papers from Craftwork cards. The main stamped image is by Stampendous called Halloween magic.

 

I painted the image using Indigoblu luscious pigment powders. These are beautiful powders that can be used in many ways. I just added a spot of water to a minute amount of the powder and mixed it into a wonderful pearlescent paint. 

 

I then added some cogs, to match her hat and some bat die cuts and finally stamped another of the Stampendous stamps to finish it off.

 

You can find the stamps I used here in the Fruit Pixie shop here -
