Happy Thursday, friends. September 2nd marks a STAMPtember 2021 party! It’s not a blog hop, but a full-blown cardmaking party with cardmakers all over the web sharing inspiration with Simon’s fabulous STAMPtember products. I have a Halloween card created with a new Layered Bats stencil.

CARD DETAILS
The Layered Bats stencil is a treat to work with! I had a blast making this card, First, I ink blended background with Oxide inks, next, I added the flying bats all over my slimline background and sprayed them with shimmer ink. I mounted the panel onto a Slimline card base, die-cut some sentiments from the pre-printed sentiment strips, tossed in a few silver gems, and called this card done.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Ink blend a background on Simon’s 120 LB cardstock with Distress Oxide inks in: Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Candied Apple (although you can’t see any of the red), Ground Espresso, and Black Soot using Simon’s blending brushes.
- Ink blend bats using Layered Bats stencil in Black Soot. Spray Distress Mica Spray in Antique Bronze.
- Trim ink blended panel to 3 1/4 x 8 1/4″ and foam mount to 3 1/2 x 8 1/2″ Slimline card base.
- Die-cut sentiment strips from Simon’s Reverse Spooky Salutations set. Foam mount to card.
- Embellish with Spellbinders Silver Gems.
