Batty Halloween Card

This card uses a variety of items from many different manufactures.  I knew I had to use the bat from Best Witches, and the rest of it just came together with items I had in my stash.

 I used the following for the card:

• Gina K - Best Witches dies
• Gina K - Black Onyx Ink
• Gina K - Master Layouts 1
• A Colorful Life - Ghosties Stencil
• Recollections - Halloween Phrases
• Distress Oxide Ink - Seedless Preserves, Carved Pumpkin, Lucky Clover

To make the card, I used blender brushes to add the Distress Oxide to white card stock.  The stencil was then placed on the panel, and a damp paper towel as added on top and lightly pressed into the stencil.  This removed some of the ink from the panel and made it look "ghostly". The panel was cut with Master Layouts 1 (along with the associated black mat).  Bats were cut from black cardstock with the die from Best Witches.  These were added to the panel, with some of the bats added with foam squares.  A white gel pen was used to add eyes to the bats.  The sentiment was added using Black Onyx ink (interesting that it ended up looking blue in the picture!).  The panel was then added to the black mat, and the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.
