Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge Returns

We're back!  The Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge is up and running again after a three month hiatus.  I appreciate this challenge just for the fun of it, and that's a good enough reason for me.  Let's play!



The mood board is provided for inspiration, but we are not required to follow it.  Our challenges are always anything goes as long as it's Halloween themed.  I like the idea of using the board as a jumping off point, just a self-challenge so to speak.  In this case I went along with the eyeballs.



Eyeballs in the sentiment, wonky eyeballs on the spider... mostly old supplies on this somewhat busy card.  Smooshy watercolor background.  Just fun.

Hop over to the Two Old Bats Challenge blog for colorful samples and then share yours in the gallery!  Have a great day!


Stamps:  DJ Inkers, Whipper Snapper  Paper:  Neenah Super Smooth 110 lb white, Lime green cardstock, DCWV Happy Halloween mat stack  Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Cool Caribbean  Coloring:  Copics  Other:  K&Co swirl trim, Doodlebug spider, Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Frames, Cheery Lynn Spider Net
