Boo!!

Halloween cards are just such fun to make that once you start you really want to do more. This was a really quick and easy shaker card to make.

Be warned though if you use bats in an apperture the wing edges are so sharp they stick in the foam pads used to create the shaker effect. Having said that the hanging to the side effect is rather bat like -so yeah another happy accident - errrrrr I mean something I did on purpose to get a realistic effect. LOL!

Materials used:

• black and orange card
• acetate
  
• largest circular nestie to cut apperture
• decoupaged image of Pumpkin by Docrafts - available free here
• bat die cut using cuttlebug die and embossing folder
• sparkly black border peel offs by Papermania
• Boo sentiment stamp by Making Memories
• bats confetti - part of huge set from Poundland (set includes skull, spiders and cats too - what a bargain).
• embossed frame created on Scor-pal
• tag cut using Cuttlebug die
• ribbon from stash

There are just so many challenges involving Halloween at the moment and I'm hoping this continues as I need and want to do a few more cards, but for now...

• Papertake Weekly - The Dark Side (how spooky is that challenge title - yikes goosebumps just typing it!)
• Digital Tuesday - Boo!
• Allsorts - Halloween
• Two Red Bananas - Halloween
• Cute Card Thursday - Halloween
  

and my card also fits the challenges at...

• Everybody's Art - shapes or punchies (my bat and tag)
• My Time to Craft - quick and cute (Pumpkin was already coloured so was much quicker and he's definitely cute)
• ABC Challenge - Flying (on a broomstick is far more fun than Ryan Air)

Well guess that's the lot - 7 challenges yeah not bad but not a record! Have a fantastic weekend everyone and hopefully I'll see you on Monday for the new Pink Elephant challenge.
