Sorry I was scarce over the weekend... it was a busy one beginning with a Stampin' Up! party on Saturday. Which by the way, was very successful and fun!
BUT, I'm back today with a Beatifully Batty Kreation to share with you. I have to say, this may be one of my favorite Kreations thus far.
I took inspiration for this card from the card sample in the Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog (page 28). NOTE: You can order a hard copy of the new catalog through me for $9.95. Simply E-mail Me to make arrangements for delivery (free shipping). That little bat hanging upside down was one of the first things in the new catalog that caught my eye.
I was so happy to see that "Batty For You" made it into the Fall/Winter IB&C. I bought it when it was released in last years Holiday Mini and thought it was retired. Now I get to demonstrate this cute stamp set again!
Speaking of the Holiday Mini, you're also getting another sneak peek into a stamp set from that catalog. The tree I used on this card is from the "Season of Friendship" set. I drew my inspiration from a computer wallpaper background (from American Greetings.com) that I have set on my Mac at home.
Other interesting details about this card are the mini clip (found on page 184 of the Fall/Winter IB&C) securing the black & white gingham ribbon. I love the gingham ribbon as an alternative to plain black ribbon. Gives it a more textured look, in my opinion.
