Hello crafty friends,
Welcome to a new month at the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, which runs from the 2nd to the 28th of the month and the theme is always Halloween... ANYTHING related to Halloween!
Using the mood board's checked table clothed and pumpkins on candle holders, I created this table scene that shows three decorated pumpkins.
I created my pumpkins first. I started with the bigger tall one, which I base colored orange and them stenciled a spider web onto it using black Distress Oxide ink using a Tim Holtz stencil (not shown in picture). The witch pumpkin was next. I colored it with two green alcohol markers and stenciled the bats and the witch. The final pumpkin I base colored gray and freehanded black stripes with alcohol markers.
For the card's background I fist masked off the area that would become my table and using the Harlequin stencil I inked the rest of the card front with a yellow/green. I made the tablecloth with a thin stipe stencil (not shown in picture). I positioned the stencil and inked with black, moved the stencil perpendicular to the first set of inked lines and inked again to create the checked pattern. I finished the card by giving some of the pumpkins foam for dimension before placing them on the card front.
Here's this month's mood board for additional inspiration... Hope to see your card 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.
