Something Wicked the Way Comes~Guest Designer for Two Old Bats



Hello,  I bet you thought Halloween was over, but not with the new Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, it's Halloween all year long!  I am so excited to be this month's guest designer.  I came up with this wicked card that has a plethora of techniques and embellishments on it.

I used a mica gloss background that didn't turn out exactly perfect from which to die cut pieces.  They make great tiny little spooky framed backgrounds for the glitter layered stickers and my die cut witches' cauldron. This Graphic 45 sentiment is a favorite, I seem to use it every year.  It is stamped and embossed in a pearl pesto hue.

Ingredients:
Cricut glitter paper
Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Stamps 1
Colorbox Black ink
Recollections Pesto Pearl embossing powder
Recollections 3D stickers
Stampin Up Raven lace ribbon
Spellbinders Large Deckled Rectangle dies
Torn Edge Rectangle dies
Quickutz cauldron 2x2
Judikins Mica Gloss
black glossy card stock
misc papers including glitter
 gems

The perfect card above is not the first one I created.  I made several others using the same cauldron and Recollections 3D stickers.  I dug into my Halloween stash for some neat patterned papers.  This is the first card I made but I had more supplies and wasn't completely happy with it. I wanted a lacier ribbon and a different sentiment.  I did however love the diamond shaped die cut.

Ingredients:
Recollections 3D stickers
Quickutz cauldron 2x2
Spellbinders Large Deckled Rectangle dies
Torn Edge Rectangle dies
We R Tape It kit die
black lacey ribbon
Prickley Pear Brewing up a batch of Good Wishes
Colorbox Black ink
Judkins Black Detail embossing powder
misc papers including glitter
gems

So on card number two I ran with the diamond shape.  The die set is Tape it by We R and the sentiment die is also a part.  I was a bit tired of the green and purples so at this point I found the divine coppery orange paper used in the final card.

Ingredients:
Recollections 3D stickers
Quickutz cauldron 2x2
We R Tape It kit dies
Stampin Up Raven lace ribbon
Tim Holtz sentiment stamp
Colorbox Black ink
Recollections Pesto Pearl embossing powder
