Gone Batty! by Darsie Bruno, NY 2009

Stamps: Cloud Cumulus 019G, Spooky Branch 273G & the Eyes from Symmetry: Sheet 4

Instructions: I used only Memento inks with this scene. I cut out a moon and the bat, then laid the cut outs down on glossy cardstock. I stamped the Cloud Cumulus 019G with London Fog ink over the entire card. With the Colorbox Stylus, I added color for my night sky, using Lulu Lavender, Grape Jelly, Paris Dusk, Bahama Blue, and Dandelion inks. I removed the masks & my bat and moon were exposed.

Next, I laid down the paper I cut the moon from over the scene, and replaced the bat mask. This left just the moon exposed. I applied Dandelion, Cantaloupe, Tangelo and New Sprout inks on the moon with the Stylus. I then removed the masks again, and only my bat was left white. I laid down the paper I cut the bat from over the scene & stamped the "Eyes" from the Symmetry: Sheet 4 using Tuxedo Black ink. I added Paris Dusk, Grape Jelly and Tuxedo Black inks on the bat. I t apped a touch of Dandelion ink on the eyes. Lastly, I stamped the Spooky Branch 273G over the scene in a random manner & finished it off by adding purple rhinestones to the bat for eyes.
