One of the benefits of being home for three days during the typhoon was that I actually made something for my own creative enjoyment. I’ve done a lot of kid crafting these days and found there wasn’t much time, creativity or inspiration left over. My muse had abandoned me. I think she’s returned though. My cards are simple, but I like ‘em. I hope you do too.
I made up the cute little vintage witchy girl diamond paper in photoshop, printed it out and used it as a focal point for the card. The bats are butterfly punches that I cut up, and that’s about it for any techniques.
I have a few more cards to share, I thought one a day for a while would be kinda fun. I also thought that it would be kinda fun to have a *giveaway*. I’ll draw names from kind commenters on *each* card I share, so the more cards you comment on, the greater your chances of winning are. If you’re a family member, I’ll count each post as a double entry (yes, I’m begging my family to delurk! you can do it under a faux name if you so wish, just let me know that it’s you by email).
Don’t worry, that’s not the only thing I’ll be posting over the next few days. What kinds of posts of mine do you enjoy the most though? Let me know, you have influence!
Edited to add: The comments don’t have to be directly related to the card being posted, they can be about anything Halloweenish.

Great card, Julie. For something you say was simple, it has lots of layers, colors and a fun image. I was really inspired by your “bat” creations. Who would have thought to cut down a butterfly and turn it into a bat. However, that is what Halloween is all about. All kinds of weird and enchanting things can happen, especially if there is a full moon.

Super cute! I never thought of using photoshop for something like that! What a lot of power that program has. I like the idea of blending traditional and digital scrapbooking.

Holy cow you made those bats?! I cannot believe you made those, I never would have thought to cut those down. You’re so crafty and I’m jealous!

Those bats are terrifc, and so is the rest of the card. I love the diamonds!
