Day 27: 31 Days of Halloween


Day 27: Twilight Flight

Right before dark, at twilight, the bats come out
to find a victim........nah, at our house they
come out to eat the skeeters. LOL

For todays 31 Days of Halloween ATC card,
 I gave "Extreme Masking"a try as in Tim Holtz's book,
"A Compendium of Curiosities".
That's Challenge # 19 this week
at Studio L3.

 Over at Haunted House Designs,
the Challenge # HDH062 is
Smeared and Smudged
and I don't think I could have
smeared or smudged more
ink than trying my had
at this technique.

I made my own masks with
Cricut's Happy Hauntings Cartridge
so that I could make the bats small enough to
fit on the ATC.
When you make your own masks,
remember to save the negative,
because your gonna need it when you
go to stamp inside your masked object.
I had to dig mine outta the trash.LOL

The colors of ink were inspired by
Smeared and Smudged's
October "O the Horror!!"
challenge:


I got close, but you really should
check out the other ladies entries
for they have nailed the Twilight colors.

For final touches, we add
the magic number 3 blings, and
Martha always has to have her hand in
it with the edge punches.

Have a great "Hump Day".  It's all
down hill from here, all
the way to
Halloween.
