Show & Tell – Butterfly bats & owl mummy card

August 23rd, 2008

Some of my best ideas come to me in the bathroom. While brushing my teeth I noticed some Johnson & Johnson bandage wrap in the cabinet and thought I could do something scrappy with it. Since I’m excited for Halloween and love owls…why not a owl mummy!!

Halloween butterfly bats & Owl Mummy Card

I had fun tearing up strips of the bandage wrap, it’s self-adhesive so I didn’t need any additional glue. I just stuck it onto the owl. Once I had my owl wrapped up I sponged antique linen distress ink onto the bandages. I just love the distress ink, so many great uses. As I was assembling my card I thought it would be fun to punch out some black butterflies. I used a velvet covered paper and also punched them on orange cardstock. This was a lot of fun to make and easy too. Inside the card is the word {Boo}. This will be little Nika’s card for Halloween this year. Thanks for checking out my butterfly bats & owl mummy card!! Hope you have a fun weekend. XOOXO ~ Cathy
