A little batty here

This was a really fun card that used a design template that was going around about 6 weeks ago!  (Yeah, I'm not very quick on the uptake).  I used CTMH papers from the new catalog called Scaredy Cat, and a retired alphabet set to stamp the "Boo".  I used the end of a pencil (eraser) to stamp the eyeballs inside the "O"s.  (giggle)

I am posting a photo tutorial below of how I made the bat!  For now, here is the inside of the card:

I used the pumpkins from the Stamp of the Month set with the Owls.  Isn't this cute?!  I colored them with pencils and odorless mineral spirits, and added the "extra" facial features with a black micron pen.

Using a die, do the unthinkable and cut a black butterfly from cardstock.

I've left the original die, the first black butterfly, and have progressively changed the last image in these tutorial photos:  

here I trimmed the ears to sharp points.

Here I've cut the opposite curve into the wing (concave versus convex?).

And continued the same on the opposite side.  Note: The tail should have been pointy-er - or even cut to look like two stubby feet about to land!  I actually fixed this before I took a photo of the final card!  oops.

Using the gold gel-Uniball pen I added two shimmering eyes. 

To place it on my card front, I had just a narrow strip of adhesive in the center section and folded the wings up so they looked like they are flying right off the page.

I was thrilled that I didn't need to purchase another die or punch. Hugs!!
