Bat's in your belfry

Bat's are a scary thing all year round and I think that for Halloween they are perfect!  We have bats around here and you can sometimes see them out at night flying around the country side.  They are vampires and they don't suck blood but I think that for a lot of us the fact we don't understand what they are capable of and how they get around AND they only come out at night can be a bit daunting.

I joined in another swap called Bat's in your Belfry at ART 42 and I made up 6 ATC's to swap out.  for this ATC I used Happy Haunting paper from Graphic 45 as the base then cut some bats out of basic black, distressed them with Picket Fence.  

The ATC are pretty much the same with a few differences in the placement of the bats and the decorative keys from Martha Stewart. 

Here is an upclose of one of the ATC.  I used Stickles on the bat's abdomen's and the key to give just a little sparkle.  Don't you love the smiles?  I just grin when I create using this paper!

Steampunk Witch ATC

I got involved with a new art group this past month and joined in on a swap or three that Sandy Alsfassar (sfassar) was hosting on the group.  The group is called Art 42 and doesn't have a specific product or manufacturer that you have to subscribe to so you can use whatever you want in your creations.  

One swap I joined was the Steampunk Witches ATC swap.  Make 3 get 3 back.  Here are the ones I made!  Of course I wanted to make sure I got one of mine so I made 4!!

Don't you love them?  They are actually made with metal adhered to cardstock then embossed.  I used Glue and Seal, matt to adhere the witches to the card and then coated it totally.  The Witches are from Graphic 45  Happy Haunting paper pack.

 Here are pictures upclose of the 4 ATC's I made.  Hope you like them!

Another swap at ART 42 was about bats in your belfry.  Stay tuned.  I will post them soon!
