Amuse Studio Rosette Die Card

I got this card idea from the 2012 Amuse Studio Holiday Catalog Page 3.  I used our small bat die trio rather than stamping the bats for a little added dimension.  The rosette turned out cool using our new orange chevron patterned cardstock.

Cardstock:  seattle, seattle chevron, orange chevron, sugar, pebble
Ink:  Versafine Onyx

Other:  Bat trio die set, Onyx baker's twine, rosette die set (trimmed to make smaller rosette), square punch (used to make banner ends)

Happy Halloween Banner Card

This was a fun card to create.  The layout design came from a friend that took a card class so I decided to change it up & use only AMuse Studio supplies.

So many fun things to make for Halloween!  I used the rosette dies to decorate two black handle bags and the Kraft Coffee bag I used the New Toil & Trouble stamp set from Amuse Studio.  I also stamped the orange tissue paper with the web background for a little added detail.
