Spooky Glow-in-the-Dark Slimline Card

Hello, crafty friends. Heather Ruwe here with a spooky slimline card to share...
To create this card, I started with the background. I cut a piece of Amethyst cardstock to a slimline sized card (3.5" x 8.5") and applied the Glow-in-the-Dark Lacquer Pen liquid through the Halloween Words Stencil. I did this at the top of the card, let it dry, and then repeated the process on the bottom of the card. I ink blended Grape Juice ink around the edges to add some contrast.
Next, I created the bats. I started by applying Glitter Paste on a piece of Pitch Black cardstock. After it was completely dry, I die cut the Bat Infinity Dies from it. This is a great way to create your own sparkle cardstock. I adhered the bats on top of the background using foam squares only in the middle of their bodies. This way I could lift the wings up to resemble them flying. I finished off the design by white heat embossing a sentiment from the Halloween Messages stamp set. I cut it using one of the Arches Infinity Dies.
Check out how bright the background glows in the dark...
Thank you so much for joining me today.
