Jingle Belles: Batman Smells!!

Hi , it's me again! The challenge for Jingle Belles last Friday was so appropriate for April Fool's Day.... Jingle Bells: Batman Smells!


Those DT ladies are challenging us to make a funny, quirky Christmas  card to celebrate the lighter side of the season! They posted some amusing ( and fantastic) samples to get us chuckling and hopefully inspired. But me? I wa so stumped... I have a ton of Christmas stamps but they all seem to fall short of funny! I checked out the submissions for inspiration ..... and while I was smiling , I still didn't feel any closer to coming up with an idea!!!! ***grrrrrr**** . My favourite was June's Gingerbread Man 's Bite Me card! My card was inspired by her fabulous creation!!! Go check it out!!!! I wanted to participate in this challenge because I have a somewhat twisted sense of humour!!!!!




I had to really search through my Cricut cartridges to find this one! I found this guy on a rarely used My Community cart. I used liquid applique to outline his arms and legs and for the "bite" I simply  used my scallop circle punch.  The sentiment is from SU! , which I  heat embossed to mirror the outline on this fellow.
So, once again I'm so late in posting for this challenge, but better late than never ( is that becoming my motto lately??????).
I'm already looking forward to the next challenge!!!

Until next time.... happy crafting!!
