Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge for September

                     Hello My Halloween Loving Friends!!

Today is the start of a new Halloween Challenge over on the Two Old Bats Year Round Halloween Challenge ~ Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge for September!  Since we are only one month away from October this would be the perfect time to start your Halloween cards and be ready to mail them out next month!

        Here is my card for the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge for September:

Ingredients:

Newton's Nook Halloween Trio stamp set

Kat Scrappiness Distressed Edge Rectangle

Bat Dies

Spooky die

Tim Holtz Speckles stencil

Copic markers

Neenah Solar White paper

White card stock

Black shimmer paper

Black ink

Twisted Citron distress oxide ink

Dried Marigold distress oxide ink

Seedless Preserves oxide ink

Tim Holtz Distress Crypt Grit Paste

Tim Holtz Distress Mica Spray

For this A2 card I started with White card stock to make the base of the card.  I took a piece of Neenah Solar White paper, Twisted Citron, Dried Marigold, and Seedless Preserves distress oxide.  I used my blending brushes to apply the different color distress oxides to the paper.  I took the Mica Spray and spritzed that onto the paper.  Once the Mica Spray was dry I took the Speckles stencil and the Distress Crypt Grit Paste and added some paste to the paper.  When the paste was all dry I took the Kat Scrappiness Distressed Edge Rectangle die and cut out the paper, inked the edges with Black ink and added it to the card base.  I then took more Neenah Solar White paper, the Newton's Nook Halloween Trio stamp and some Black ink and stamped it onto the paper.  I colored it in with Copic markers and fussy cut it out and added it to the card.   I took some Black Shimmer paper and the Spooky die and the Bats die and cut them out and added them to the card.  I was inspired by the BOO on the Inspiration Board pictured below.
