Bats can be cute. Really.

So, the challenge over at The Stamping Bazaar this week was to make a Valentine's Card using one of their images. Well, I am not keen on making Valentine's Day cards. I don't much care for the holiday and have never really celebrated it. However, I recognize that many other people do, so I'll shush that little snarky voice now. My sister-in-law loves bats. Halloween is her favorite holiday. She has a bat tattoo'ed on her ankle. If you give her a bat stuffed animal or figurine, she's happier than me with chocolate, and I didn't think that was possible. Well, I bought this cute little Marvin the bat image ages ago. I mean, I'm talking probably six months or more. For some stupid reason, I hadn't printed him out yet. Today, I decided to change that. I mean, look at him. He's so stinkin' cute. I told you bats could be cute.
The sentiment says "wishing you a day filled with good things." I went over it with a stardust pen. It looks good on my desk, but didn't photograph well. If you like the papers, head over to Target's dollar spot. That's where I got them. The design of the card is based after this week's sketch at the Outlawz (see link in my sidebar). I made the apples with my spellbinders. I had such fun coloring this image with my copics. I need to head over and get some more Stamping Bazaar images. I've only got a few, and I need more, because, well... they are so darned CUTE!

You are right, this is a cute bat!! You colored hem perfectly. I love that he is chomping an apple, which of course is probably one of the reasons that you love him!!! Love the apple nesties, and how you used them!! Super cute card g/f!

CUTE! he makes me smile. I never knew a bat could be so darn darlin!
He is perfect for this sketch too. Those apple nesties are just perfect for him. Great use of Valentin-y looking papers for a non Valentine card.
