Gone Batty Gothic Halloween Petal Card by Melissa Walker

I have always loved cards that fold or open in unexpected ways. Petal folds are especially wonderful for Gothic Halloween cards because they remind us of the old fashioned, fancy stationery of wealthy royalty. As I don't have the special dies or templates to make my own petal cards, I have found many paper supply shops carry these in a variety of colors and make life so much easier!

To enhance the Old World feeling, I added black embossed paper to Moxxie's stunning "Gone Batty" paper. Embellishing with a simple cameo framed bat and a strip of black lace mimics the royal seals that people of importance always used in their correspondence. The magnetic closures are hidden beneath the ribbon so the card snaps open and closed very easily.

Inside, I added an aged and distressed parchment insert stamped with a flourish bat, the "All Hallow's Eve" die cut by Moxxie and petals of the Gone Batty paper to tie it all together. It truly feels like opening a present when this card unfolds!

I hope you try an oddly shaped card this Halloween- and maybe you'll be as hooked as I am!

I really love the folded cards as well. This line is so great and I love how you added to it with the black embossed paper and the fun embellishment and lace. Sooo cool.
