Mother's Day has just come and gone and already I'm making a Halloween card. What?! LOL
In case you aren't aware, there's a new challenge this year called
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge and for the month of May it's an "anything goes" challenge with the following mood board to inspire you...
I used a piece of black & white dotted paper for the background, stamping assorted "Boos" and bats with stamp sticks by Judith. The skeleton is a stencil from SSS and I stamped through it with Versafine ink, then embossed it with white ep on a piece of purple cardstock. I matted the image panel with 2 more panels of lemon lime and orange, die-cutting them all with a Venetian Label die set from GMD. I added 3 die-cut "BOO!" sentiments from Lil Inker and added some sticker "gemstones", glaze pen accents and black Nuvo dots.
Here's what the inside looks like with 3 die-cuts from the SU! Chalk Talk dies, and a heat-embossed stamped sentiment from Lil Inker. The skull and crossbones came from a punch-out border that were included with a kit of Halloween papers I've had for eons.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a good day where you live. It's a picture-perfect day here in PA - the kind I've been looking forward to enjoying :)

Oh, this is great! I have to say the inside sentiment gave me a giggle. Five months will go by in a snap. I'm hoping I'll have my Halloween cards and most of my Christmas cards done and then I can concentrate on Thanksgiving. I'm so glad you played along with us at Two Old Bats!
Fun and spookie card, awesome.
A super card Carol, I like how you have decorated the inside as well.
