Hi everyone, I had a play with some old and new goodies today for a friend's Halloween birthday!
These cobweb stamps and bat dies have been in my stash for quite a few years and I've had the distress spritz sprays since they first came out but have never used them!
I was inspired by this card by my new STB team mate Nance, to try out a new to me grim reaper die.
I stamped and embossed the cobwebs in silver, then sprayed on antique linen and wilted violet distress spritz, I love how shimmery it is in real life!
I inked around the edges with wilted violet distress ink, added the grim and some bats.
The sentiments are from a Poppy Stamps older set and a new to me Honeybee Stamps set, inked in black and clear embossed.
Nance used an action wobble so the grim shakes about,
this one is firmly in place with glue dots!
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Mix it Up Challenge, playing along with the anything goes option.
Supplies:
Dies: Spellbinders dancin grim; Sizzix bat crazy; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle.
Stamps: Stampers Anonymous tangled webs; Poppystamps birthday blowout: Honeybee Stamps sassy birthday.

This is certainly a different sort of birthday card Cathy, but it did make me laugh. I love the silver embossed cobwebs and flying bats and the sprays work well too, and all perfect with your fun grim reaper. x
