Spooky bat

I wanted to play in the CAS Mix Up October Stencil Challenge that is using stencils and tone on tone. For this card I used a Crafters Workshop stencil and dark gray inks to make a spooky background. The bat was die cut with a very old sizzix die, the kind of steel die with yellow plastic around it! I emobssed it and added red cardstock behind his eyes, then glossy accents. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. Got another Halloween card finished.







Be kind to one another.

Sorry to be so late commenting on this cute post, Brenda. I love your take on the tone-on-tone technique with the gray hues and that creepy-looking giant red-eyed bat! Fun sediment to take the scare out of it! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell xxoo

This is quiet the spooky scene Brenda! I am loving your stenciling and the tone on tone technique. The trees stenciled gives a feeling of a foggy, spooky night! lol Your bat completes the scene perfectly and I am loving his red eyes. The sentiment takes the spooky away though. Love this one! Hugs, Brenda
