The Stamping Bazaar.. ::Marvin the Bat::

Posted by at Labels: , , , ,
Hey there, thank you so much for stopping by today!! This is my first ever post as a DT member for The Stamping Bazaar!! I'm super thrilled to be part of the uber talented team and having the opportunity to work with Marina's aMAZing images - all of which can be found HERE in the Stamping Bazaar Store.

Marvin the Bat was the critter that first caught my eye when I was introduced to TSB images, and I think he will remain my all time fave - he is just thee cutest. For my first card I decided to colour up Marvin the Bat who can be found HERE in digi form over in the store. I've coloured him using a black Prisma and Sansodor.


I know he's intended for Halloween, but I've made loads of cards with him and not one has been a Halloween one. I think it's great when you can find multiple uses for your stamps and digis, and Marvin is no exception. He is too cute to just come out on 31st October. I have steered away from my comfort zone slightly (a LOT) with this card and gone for an all pink sort of set up. Perfect for a girly girl and the sentiment allows for any sort of message to be written on the inside.
