Hello, all of you ghoul lovers! This is our reminder that we still have 2 weeks left on our current August Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.
For this card, I had some bits and pieces from a previous attempt that I never used and they've been languishing in my stash for a couple of years. I love it when I can use up old scraps and reorganize them! I started with a printed image that I had fussy-cut from some really old printed cardstock. It seemed appropriate for this month's challenge, although it is a bit creepier than the skull and flowers our leaders have included in the mood board. I thought it would be fun to stamp the sentiment onto a band of red-orange paper and thread it through the eye socket - YUCK, creepy! I prepared a side-folded pale gray card base and then picked up some of the colors of the bird/skull image - mauve textured die cut stitched rectangle, aubergine die-cut filigree frame, and red-orange mat. The skull, raven, and sentiment were attached to the card front with dimensional foam.
We're still hoping to get 25+ challenge entries so the ladies can have a drawing for these Whimsy Stamps alien dies, and the last time I checked it seemed quite possible:
Great job using up those scraps! Very ghoulish!!
