Jane Z. & Lisa Z.: Bat Friends (Created by Jane Z.)

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

TGIF! For today's post, I am using some new release stamps from the Winter/Fall Fun Collection...Be sure to see below for details, on how you could WIN some cute High Hopes Stamps of your very own!!!

This is Bat Friends (TT043) and Block Happy Halloween sentiment (HH031). Such an adorable and fun image to colour!

To start, I used a piece of watercolour paper and a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image and sentiment (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it. To colour both the main image and sentiment, Tombow Markers and water were used. After the colouring was finished and dry, glossy accents were applied on all the bat's noses and the vampire's bow tie.

For the card base and image layer, I decided on a piece of SU Lavender Lace cardstock. (Just a side note here, the bat's wings are actually the same colour as the purple coloured cardstock in real life-my phone camera and I don't see eye-to-eye with certain colours when taking photos! LOL!) The designer papers are from Doodlebug-Ghouls & Goodies 6x6 Paper Pad, along with YNS-Spooky Cute 4.25" x 5.5" Paper Pad. To complete this card, a bunch of YNS Gumdrops were added.
