"Too Cute To Spook"
Batleigh Bats Slimline Card
by Leigh
  
My 31 Days of Halloween inspirational make for you today is a magical slimline card featuring Digi Stamps from my Once Upon a Nightmare and SPOOKtember 2020 Collections!
 

The Batleigh Bats are so excited for Halloween and love to fly around Furness Forest on foggy twilight nights!
 
 
To make my "Too Cute To Spook" slimline card I designed the scene in Silhouette Design Studio by first laying out my slimline folded card elements that are included in these 2 sets from my A Charming Christmas CollectionSnowmen Slimline Make-a-Card Layered SVG Cutz and the Christmas Baubles Slimline Make-a-Card Layered SVG Cutz.  I printed out the Furness Forest Winter Treescape with a tiny Wicked Moon included in the scene and used the smallest mat layer from the slimline card set to cut out the panel using my Silhouette Cameo 4.  
 
 
 To create the foggy twilight night I blended Villainous Potion and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide inks over the printed image then added white acrylic paint to the Wicked Moon.  I then print and cut out all 3 of the flying Batleigh Bats and the "Too Cute To Spook" senti that comes included in the Batleigh Bats set with a narrow offset as well as shadow offset mat layers cut from black cardstock.
 
 
 For lots of magical sparkle I painted all of the Batleigh Bats with Spectrum Noir Sparkle glitter ink pens and used Prismacolor pencils on just their eyes.  I then used a dark lime green textured cardstock for the mat layer and black cardstock to cut out the folded slimline card base.
 
 
 Now's a good time to remind you about our Halloween Challenge going on this month..."Too Cute To Spook" closes Oct 28 at 11:55pm pacific so you've still got plenty of time to get in your cute Halloween makes and still be home safe before the Witching Hour strikes!
