Great halloween colors, don't you think? I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do though, because I don't have very many halloween stamps. It's just not my thing! I started by sponging a background to see what that would look like and it ended up looking like a spooky sky. I didn't have anything to put in my sky though, so I decided to browse pinterest for some punch art bats. I used a combination of some of the bats that I saw people making and came up with this adorable little guy:
I just love him! I had to remove several punches from my punch drawer to be able to get to my owl punch though. It was the very last punch because I NEVER use it! The wings were made with an oval punch and then I hand cut the scallops for the bottoms of the wings. This would have made a great Thursday Throwback for me because I also used the branch from my rarely-used Take Care. :) I wanted a little frame, so I made that with some Washi Tape. Love that stuff!

ReplyDeleteSo cute Shana! The owl punch is one of my favorites - I have found many uses for it. I'd say keep it toward the top of your punch pile so you can have more fun with it :o) Great sponged background.
