Hello! It's time again for Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge where it's all about the fun. You're given an inspiration board which you can use if you want, or you can go in entirely your own direction. I like using the board as a self-challenge. First, a look at my silly sample:
Pictured below is the inspiration board. Hmmm... lots of scary stuff on there this month, but that doesn't mean my card has to be particularly scary. I saw the big spider and went with that.
The idea for using circles for the body and head came from Pinterest. So easy and so cute! I drew the legs -- now you can see how I can't even draw a stick figure, so thank goodness for stamping. The head is popped up. The smile is part of a stamp from the same set that gave me the small smiling spiders. The eyes are circle punches. I slid paper into the punch, flipped it over and traced inside the circle, then punched. Pupils are Black Diamond Stickles glitter.
The two Whipper Snapper stamp sets I used are my all-time favorite Halloween sets. I've had them for many years and I figured they were retired, but just for kicks I looked them up. I'm excited to say they're still on the site:
If you enjoy making Halloween cards I hope you'll join us at Two Old Bats. Have a wonderful day!

!!Oh Leslie, this is the most adorable spider!!! Love her, and her little friends too.
Love the colors of the sequences and of course, that hat fits her perfectly.
You know that spiders are my most favorite insects, big or small, they are never, ever killed in my house, I always take them out if I see one because she will have better luck finding food out there among my Hydrangeas and geraniums.
Fabulously fun card, my friend.
Stay healthy and safe.

How brilliant to use circles to create your spider. The legs are perfect…great colors and even though I detest the lil 8 legged buggers..this card is adorable.
That's one fun big spider and what a big smile too! LOL Love the purple witch's hat and sparkly sequins but those spindly legs and curly tail just make me smile :) Fun card!
Well, I think your spider is very cute! What a clever way to make the eyes, and using the circle punches was great, too. Love the patterned paper body.
So fun Leslie! you did an amazing job at creating your spider, you have a wonderful imagination! I always love your Halloween cards, another fabulous one!
Have a great weekend Leslie.
Wow fabulous job Leslie, brilliant details and love the spider
