OCTOBER TWO OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

WOW! October has arrived, and here we are almost full-circle on our Halloween calendar for 2024! These are great new images for inspiration with some fun colors to play with.

Having said that, I didn't use the colors - I picked up on the Halloween house and trick-or-treaters in the top-left quadrant of our inspiration board, using some more scraps from an old Halloween paper stack that is almost gone. I die-cut a circle from a gray cardstock stitched rectangle and inserted one of orange printed paper and then over-stamped the cobweb and white heat embossed it. I also added 3 Tim Holtz bats, stamped with Memento "Black Tuxedo" ink. The houses were fussy cut from the paper you see lining the envelope, and I layered them with a die cut Tim Holtz Halloween tree with some black foam dimensional tape. The final step was to place stepping stones and additional dots on the bottom of the card with a WG4 Copic marker. 

We had a HUGE showing of incredible cards last month and we're hoping to see the same this month! There will be two random number drawings for these great gifts when we reach 25 entrees:
