You Drive Me Batty Craftin Desert Divas

September 25, 2018

Today I am sharing my card for the September release at Craftin Desert Divas!

My card features the BAT-TASTIC Unicorn Digital stamp! It is created on a white card base--square card (5 X 5). I used the Inside Scalloped Square Dies to create the black frame. The unicorn and little bats are colored with Copic Markers. I created the sentiment on my computer. Black enamel dots were added to complete the card.

My cards are created on white card bases. I found two different snowflake patterned papers in my stash and adhered them to the top of my base. The white cover panel is created using the

MFT Bold Stripes die. I added a white stitched circle next.

The MFT Merry Christmas Circle die was used to cut out the sentiment. The little snowmen are from Lawn Fawn Ready, Set, Snow stamp set. I colored them with Copic Markers and added a white snow drift to complete the circle. I stamped a few white snowflakes on the circle. Sparkling clear sequins and Wink of Stella was added to complete my cards.

Thanks for stopping by! Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. I love to hear from you!

The hop is hosted by the fabulous Kelly Lunceford's blog, so head over there to start from the beginning.

My card is created on a white card base The black layer was run through my Big Shot with the SugarPea Designs Arrow Plate Cover Die. It is hard to see in the pictures, but it adds so much dimension to my card. The white rectangle was embossed with an embossing folder and I used a cropper to round two of the edges to match the sketch. The tepee and the dreamcatcher border was stamped using the Honey Bee Stamps My Tribe. I stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed both items with gold embossing powder. The sentiment is from the same set and is also heat embossed with gold. I cut the sentiment in small rectangles and adhered them with dimensionals. I love the way this turned out!
