Perfect for finishing up your Halloween cards for friends and family. I know well see some spooky and cute cards in our gallery this week.
Since I was traveling for work most of last week, I didn't have a chance to sit down and make my card until yesterday. Unfortunately for me, I seemed to have picked up a "bug" in my travels and with a pounding head and upset stomach, my creativity was running at about 5% of normal, so I needed to find a quick and simple sketch. This week's CAS(E) this Sketch came to my rescue.
Using some older Reverse Confetti sets, I put together this pretty simple card. The card base is SU Basic Gray. I cut the top panel of Very Vanilla with the largest MFT Wonky Stitched die and stamped the bottom line of bats. I cut a Very Vanilla banner using a MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags die and stamped the same bats on it, then I cut another banner from Basic Gray for layering. Using the Mini Misti for placement, I stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink. After putting the card together, I thought it needed a little more embellishment, so I added the large bat in the upper right corner and the two black pearls in the lower right corner.
The inside is super simple as well.

Colleen, sorry to hear that you caught a bug whilst you were traveling. Hopefully you managed to get some rest this weekend and are starting to feel better. I love your batty card and the sentiment on the inside is perfect. Great job with the sketch, too.
