I've been wanting to blog about this since I made it - but it was a pocket letter swap organised by the facebook Group Oddball Stamps by Lizzy Love

 Anyway I just heard that it arrived - this is the photo my swap partner posted - so...


These are the 9 ATCs before I put them in the wallet - easier to photograph!




Method:

1. I started with a sheet of paper from The Craft Box - The other Side. I cut a piece that would fit in my printer and printed the bats on it. The bat image was a freebie for the Oddballs Newsletter.
2. I then cut 9 rectangles from this, just smaller than the black cards I had made as my bases.
3. I then used Happy Horrors and Halloween Crowd from Oddball Stamps, printing the images and colouring them with Copics.
4. I then placed the images on the ATCs cutting into sections as required and lengthening the balloon string. Finally I added the sentiments and the words.



I then placed the ATCs in the wallet...

Oh, fruit loved of boyhood! the old days recalling, 
When wood-grapes were purpling and brown nuts were falling! 
When wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin, 
Glaring out through the dark with a candle within! 

Happy Hopping!
