Followers of my blog will probably remember my husband is a twin and their birthdays are on Halloween so I always try to make a birthday card with a twist of Halloween. This one is for his brother...
So I started with the big Mama Elephant Happy Birthday die which has been cut from black cardstock and heat embossed in clear to give a nice glossy finish. The fiends are from a set called Frightfully Sweet by MFT and coloured with Prisma pencils, then hand cut out and mounted with 3D foam.
The little bat is from a set by Tim Holtz for Sizzix.
A close up of the sentiment to show the shine :)
