Hey y'all. Happy Friday. I hope you've had a great week and have lots of fun stuff already planned for the weekend. I'm hoping to get lots of stamping done and other than that just chill.

I thought today's card would be relatively Quick & Easy when I sat down to make it last night. In theory, I guess it should have been. In reality it involved making templates and doing math and I was really soooo over it, before I was really over it. I stuck with it though and in the end, while it's not going to make my favorites list any time soon, I  still think it's cute.

Halloween Card featuring
Spooky Bingo Bits

 I thought I would make this pretty straight-forward as far as the stamping went and maybe be able to use it as a class card. Uh-No! I was going for a 3-D/shadow-box kind of effect. Way too involved. It might work however to just stamp and then punch out a few layers. I may have to try it again. Another reason I'm not thrilled, my first stamp the spider web was not centered. I knew I should have bought the Clear-Mount set and saved some dough, but I thought it would be too much to keep changing out the blocks. *SMH* Oh well, you live and you learn. At least I haven't bought the Jolly Bingo Bits yet. :)

I started with a base of Basic Black. I matted my  Pumpkin Pie c/s with a piece of Whisper White and then sponged the W.W. piece with a little P.P. for some additional dimension. The P.P. layer was adhered with bits of Dimensionals and then the whole panel was adhered with Tombow. I used our new Small Scalloped Circle Punch, in our Holiday Mini, for the circles. Each of the images was stamped with Black Staz-On. I let Tink have her little bit of fun with each of the images. A simple knotted piece of P.P. Ribbon completes the front.

Here's the sketch I used-

 I kept the inside really simple since I felt like the front had enough going on-

But, you know I still had to make it cute. This is the first time I've used the Spooky Bingo Bits set and it really has the cutest images. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I hate how it looks crooked in this picture. :( It's really cute in person. I love how the letters kinda go up and down.
