TOB - We're Backkk

 Hello crafty friends,


Sorry, I just couldn't help but quote a similar movie phase. The Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, is back with a March Challenge that runs from the 2nd to the 28th of the month. Remember, the theme is always Halloween... ANYTHING related to Halloween!

For example, my card is Halloween, but not scary at all... I'm an equal opportune Halloween fan, loving both the scary and the cute and everything in-between.


This is a slim card measuring 8x3.80 inches.  The three pumpkins are stamped onto a Strathmore 
Mix Media paper die cut panel.  I'm going to use colors to refer the pumpkins, but I didn't actually color them until later. 

I stamped the orange pumpkin first, elongating it a bit to make it taller. I masked the top of it and stamped the green pumpkin, stretching it wider this time. Again, I masked the top part and stamped the yellow pumpkin, also elongating it taller.  Next I fussy cute the inside of the green and the yellow pumpkins.  I added the extra stamped elements (the scene inside the orange pumpkin) and watercolored the panel.  Once dry, I covered the shaker windows with acetate and added foam tape around the two pumpkins so that I could fill them each with different colors of sequins. I backed the shaker windows with an orange pattern paper and attached the panel to the front of my card.   




I didn't use this month's mood board for this card, but here is it for additional inspiration: 



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.

    1. Thanks Diane :) I seldom buy stuff at full price, but when this first release I knew I HAD to have it. Thankfully it's a smaller set and not too expensive. LOL
