Cute Halloween Candies and Bats

Greetings!

Since Halloween is first on the list of upcoming holidays I decided it was time to share a Halloween card.  The Cute Halloween 6" x 6" Designer Series Papers (DSP) are appropriately named as the prints and characters are oh so cute!  This bat scene is cut right from one of the papers!   No fancy stamping or coloring needed - the papers do all the work for you!  The Black Glitter Paper adds a sparkly separation between the adorable bats and the colorful background. Happy Haunting from the Banner Year stamp set provides the perfect sentiment.

Adorable for any age!

To get the most out of 6" x 6" papers, cut them in half so you get two cards out of one sheet.  To make up the difference of the  3-3/4" x 5" layer, small strips of coordinating papers work beautifully! The black/white candy print has the multi-colored polka dot print on the reverse side, so I cut 1/4" and flipped it, then added the 3/4" strip of the multi-colored stripe.  

A simple Happy Haunting is all that's needed for the front and a hilarious definition from the Well Defined stamp set for the inside makes this card fun for any age!
