I started with a blank card and used 4 different distress inks to create the background - they were milled lavendar, wilted violet, dusty concorde and seedless preserves. I blended them together then added more of the same using stencils - Tim holtz-layering-stencil---autumn, and a web stencil from dutch doobadoo.
Next I stamped the main image which is by stampendous.
I did some diecutting using sizzix-thinlits-die-set-10pk---handwritten-halloween-by-tim-holtz and a tattered lace web.
I also used the bats from the sizzix-thinlits-die-set-3pk---mixed-media-halloween-by-tim-holtz.
I backed the front with black so the bats looked black and also used some of the cut out bats on various parts of the card.
I hope you will be able to join us - here.
