Light up the Night ...


The color combination from Colour Q is just gorgeous, the flower technique is new (how did I do for my first try?) and the glittery arrow was so fun to make!  My card base is Pumpkin Pie cardstock covered in Nite Owl Designer Series Paper.  I really like the writing ... it's Edgar Allen Poe - perfect.  I used Old Olive and Basic Black cardstock for matting.  The "Wayne Candelabras" sign is cut right from the Nite Owl paper!  I LOVE it!  As you can see I "glittered" it up a bit with White Chunky Essentials.  Our Black Flourish jewels add interest to the top of the card.


The tag is a rub-on from Spooky Night which I applied to Basic Black cardstock then punched out with the Jewelry punch.  The flower is a new technique that I learned  here.  I put a little black jewel in the center (you can just see it in the photo above).  It was super easy to make and I hope to get better at it over time!  Thank you 'jannaviles' for the tutorial!




The arrow is chipboard from our Mix and Match collection.  I glittered it up in Olive Fine Supernova Glitter and then added a bat with my Bitty Bat punch.  Every girl needs a little sparkle, right?!  (Even girl bats!)



Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for visiting with me!
