Cricut Class Halloween Layout

Here is a layout I created for a Ciricut project class I am giving next month. I teach many basic, beginner Cricut classes. My students also ask for project classes. I don't like to make them too difficult or intricate because most students are still in the learning phase.

I like to add some techniques like chalking, inking, etc. My students love to learn different ways of taking the plain cuts and giving them life. Here's a close up of the detailing techniques I used for this layout.

In order for the cuts to "pop" I always highlight the edges either with chalk or Prismacolor marker, warm grey 20%. Then I use a black Sakura Pigma Micron pen .01. on top of the highlight. For the black cuts, I use Ranger's white Inkssentials pen. This is the best white pen around IMHO.

For the bats, I use Sakura's Gelly Roll Stardust. This pen adds a subtle clear glitter to anything. I love this pen.
Feel free to leave me a comment or ask any questions. It's my pleasure to answer them!
