Welcome back to the Two Old Bat's year 'round Halloween challenge! Right in the middle of the busy holiday season... truth is, it was fun to take a break from Christmas cards after being up to my eyeballs in them for quite a while now.
We have an inspiration board, but not required to use it.
I love playing off the boards and my Halloween card o' the month was inspired by the bats and the 31 in the upper right of the board. I paired a Deep Red Halloween Dress Form stamp with Impression Obsession's Halloween Stamp. This eerily pretty party dress just needs the cobwebs brushed off and it's ready to wear!
I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed for the fine detail. Brushed some color on the background, colored the bow and 31 with a Tombow marker. Hand cut the postage stamp and popped it up on foam tape. The papers are not Halloween, but I wanted some different colors for this card. The fancy non-Halloween die frame worked out great when cut in black. All in all I like it!
Come see us at Two Old Bats. I know this is not an easy time to be making Halloween cards, but it's fun if you've got the time. Challenge ends on the 28th. Have a great day!
