The completed card is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2", so I started with white cardstock just a tad smaller. I used a blender brush to apply Mango Melody in center of card where I roughly knew I would be cutting out the circle. Then added Pumpkin Pie a little further out; then added Vintage Violet going further out, then finally blended in some black ink around the edges. Then I die cut a circle in the middle of the paper and then ran it through the Big Shot using the SU! Old World Paper 3DEF. Next I worked on the skull. I stamped the image with Versa Mark on a 3x3" white Cs paper and then heat embossed it with black embossing powder. Then I blended around the image with Mango Melody so it would blend in with the inside edges of my circle. Then I attached it so the skull is in the middle of the circle. The bats were also heat embossed with black powder and cut out with scissors. The sentiment was a random stamp that was also heat embossed, then blended with Mango Melody, and then cut out and matted with black Cs. Then I attached the whole thing onto base Cs (Elegant Eggplant). Added a sequin for one of the eyes and for embellishments.
