It’s Digi Choosday again, and I’m back with a spooky cute Halloween card featuring Polkadoodles’ Bat Girl Boo digi stamp and a DIY ink-blended background! This card was so fun to make — I especially loved layering the Distress Oxides and playing with sparkly cardstock for a bit of Halloween magic.
Materials Used:
Cardstock: White, black, yellow, violet glitter, light violet glitter, grey glitter
Patterned Paper: Polkadoodles Boo Halloween set
Digi Stamp: Bat Girl Boo Halloween from Polkadoodles
Distress Oxide Inks: Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Seedless Preserves, Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber
Blending Brush
Die Sets: Lawn Fawn Full Moon, Lawn Fawn Giant Trick or Treat
Ohuhu Alcohol Markers & Glitter Pens
Tools: Cutterpillar Pro, Cutterpillar Crease, Sizzix Big Shot
Adhesives: Bearly Art Glue, Foam Tape
How I Made It:
Card Base: Cut white cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” and score at 4 1/4”.
Background Panel: Cut another white cardstock to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and blend with Distress Oxides in this order: Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion.
Moon & Stars: Die cut a full moon using yellow cardstock and lightly blend with Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber. Cut stars from grey glitter cardstock and a bat from black cardstock.
Sentiment: Die cut “Trick or Treat” in black, then cut the same sentiment in violet and light violet glitter cardstock. Cut the excess from the words and layer over the black for a shadowed look.
Also die cut a bat in black cardstock and stars using black glitter cardstock from this die set.
Digi Stamp: I colored Bat Girl Boo with Ohuhu alcohol markers (listed below) and added shimmer with glitter pens in black, orange, and yellow.
CG050, CGII00, CGII07, BG050, R18, YR3, GY2, P4, V230, Y030, Y3, Y1, Y4, R21, YR070, Y2
Assembly: Arrange all elements onto your blended background. Use foam tape for the digi to add dimension.
Finishing Touch: Cut Polkadoodles Boo Halloween patterned paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” and glue behind your panel. Adhere everything to your card base.
I love how this card turned out — spooky but sweet, and super fun to make!

It’s Halloween so set aside the pinks and the yellows it’s time for the purples and blacks. Though halloween colors may look gloomy and mysterious
ReplyDeletethe tricks you used for your halloween card was reassuring yet depicted the theme and it turned out to be an excellent treat.
It shows your wide imagination using Batgirl instead of the customarily used pumpkins, ghosts, bats, spiders and cobwebs.
Halloween parties, trick or treating, wearing costumes may be fun but let’s not forget that this is the day we show our love and respect for those who have passed, remembering their legacies and preserving their memories.
Happy Halloween!
