π Trick or Treat Balleigh Monsters Film Frameπ
Slimline card by Leigh
My Day 5 of 31 Days of Halloween Hop inspiration for you today is a spooktacular Trick or Treat filmstrip slimline card featuring 3 Balleigh Monsters!
With bats flying in the spooky twilight sky it's time for Ghost, Germie and Vampire Balleigh Monsters to head out for their night of haunting! Don't these fluffballs look creepy cute all dressed up in their Halloween costumes and posing for their photos next to a Jack o' Lantern, LOLπ
I sized all 3 Balleigh Monsters to fit inside the filmstrip windows and created the little scenes for each one with the bats included in the Ghost Balleigh Monster set and the Jack o' Lantern included in the Vampire Balleigh Monster set.
I printed out the scenes onto Neenah bright white cardstock and coloured the Balleigh Monsters with Copics and the background with Prismacolor pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits.
I made a slimline folded card base and cut the Trick or Treat Film Frame, Silhouette Design Store cut file by Tanya Batrak, out of Crafter's Companion heavy weight cardstock.
I added strips from a sheet of mixed media cardstock coloured with Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry Oxide Sprays and Tarnished Brass Distress Stain Spray, down both sides of the filmstrip and completed my card by adhering the frame to the slimline folded card base.
This was such a fun card to create and makes perfect Halloween cards for kids of any age and adults too!

My Day 3 of 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop inspiration for you today features all 3 of my new Batleigh Bats that are trying to scare up a fright but they're just too cute to spookπ
I had a spooktacular time creating this fun slimline card. Slimlines are all the rage now but I've been making what I call "tall and skinny" cards tor years, LOL! I printed Grim, Betsi and Bram Batleigh onto Neenah bright white cardstock and coloured with Copics and added touches of Viva Decor Magic Transparent 3D gel to their noses and Betsi's cute lil bow. I fussy cut out the Batleighs and black mats with my Silhouette Cameo.
I designed the slimline black window frame in Silhouette Design Studio and cut it out with my Cameo. The Spiderweb Lace is a cut file from the Silhouette Design Store by Jennifer Wambach and the purple glitter card and heavy weight black cardstock are from Crafter's Companion. I applied a touch of Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink to the edges of the senti to coordinate with the purple glitter cardstock. To add fun dimension to the card I used black foam tape to adhere the Batleighs and the window frame panel in place.
Here's a closer look at Grim...he's looking very wicked with his red eyes!
Betsi is so sweet with her pink flowery wings but watch out, she does bite!
Bram is adorbs but those big red eyes probably mean trouble!
All 3 Batleighs and the "too cute to spook" senti are included in the Batleighs set!

π Reaper Luminary π
by Leigh
I love love love luminaries and had an absolute blast making this one featuring my wicked new Reaper from this year’s Halloween release!
I printed Reaper out onto a sheet of vellum and applied Tim’s Cranberry, Terra Cotta, Ginger and Caramel Alcohol Inks to the reverse side to create the distressed luminary panel.
The frame is a gorgeous cut file I found at the Silhouette Design store by Rivka Wilkins which I modified by removing elements from the center oval and I also resized it and elongated the shape. I cut the frame out twice from black heavy weight cardstock for strength and twice from diamond patterned cardstock. I glued one of each panel together and then grunged everything up with Fired Brick and Black Soot Distress Inks and a coat of Tim’s crazing medium to simulate rusted metal. Then adhered the vellum panel to the back of one of the frame pieces.
I applied Bronze Viva Decor Pearl pen to the cobweb cutouts on the front panel of the frame to create a beautiful stained glass effect that sparkles during the day and dances prettily in flickering candle light at night. I then assembled the frame by adhering the 2 panels together just along the top edge and scored a crease line to the back top edge to form the easel.
The finishing touch was the Jillibean Soup "Something Wicked" sentiment cut file from Silhouette which I converted into a print and cut and coloured with Fired Brick, Tea Dye and Black Soot Distress Inks then mounted onto the frame with black foam tape.
Here's a little video showing the luminary in action!
