TOB Sept Mid Month Challenge


    

Hello crafty friends,
Welcome to this month's challenge reminder post.  Have you started working on a card/project?  If yes, GREAT!  If no, WHAT are you waiting for?  We want to see your Halloween creations.   Remember  the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, runs from the 2nd to the 28th of the month and the theme is always Halloween... ANYTHING related to Halloween!

Still inspired by the floral skulls, I used a digital stamp on my card this time.


I stared with a Park Lane floral embossing folder and dark purple pattern paper as my background.  I colored my sugat skull with purples and pinkish reds.  I wanted to make this a light up card, so I fussy cut the eye openings and backed them with two layers of velum in order to hide the light kit.  I placed double side adhesive on the back of the skull around the light component making sure my foam was a little higher/deeper than the light component. 


 Here's this month's mood board for additional inspiration... Hope to see your card/project soon. 



Challenge ends on the 28th, winner will be announced on the 1st on the month before the start on the new challenge.  For a full list of all the rules please visit Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge home page.  unit next time... take care.

ANYTHING related to Halloween!

I used the flower skulls as my inspiration for my card.  


I started by stamping a background floral by IO and colored it shades of grey.  The background of the floral design, I colored in a dark purple.  Next I stamped, colored and fussy cut the heads of three super cute sugar skulls from Scrappy Boy.   The "bless your soul" is also from the same Scrappy Boys stamp set.

Here's this month's mood board for additional inspiration... Hope to see your card/project soon.
