Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge — January Anything Halloween
It was a fun mood board to use as inspiration from the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge for January and appropriate for winter. It does at times snow on Halloween in Pennsylvania. So for my card I wanted to create a snowy background. I started with a teal piece of patterened paper with stars on it, then using the Tim Holts Moon Mask stencil I attempted to stencil the moon in first white pigment ink and then finally versamark ink and clear heat embossed. I then inked Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in chipped sapphire, a swipe of seedless preserves and finally black onyx over the patterned paper and while covering the moon with the solid moon mask. Next came SimonSaysStamp Snowflake banks stencil which includes snow banks and snow flakes. These were inked with Gina K Designs ivory pigment ink. Batty Newton from Newton’s Nook was stamped, die cut and popped up flying to the snowy moon to finish my card.
Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.

The background panel you created is AWESOME! Your moon, the snow, and the blended colors all look great! The colors you chose for your bat go perfectly with your background.
Thanks so much Lisa. I wasn’t sure if the ink blending over the patterned paper would work but was glad with the way it turned out.
Perfect background! Love Batty Newton.
Thanks, Lisa, I agree Batty Newton is such a fun image.
Oh Gayle, this is so adorable! Your background is fabulous! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Two Old Bats challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often. We appreciate your support!

Thanks, Darlene, for another fun challenge and mood board.
Yes Gayle it snows on Halloween here too. The moon is great as are your hills and bat.
Thanks, Bonnie, the moon stayed more greenish than I wanted but I guess it’s ok for a snowy Halloween moon.
Awesome!! You created an amazing background. That little bat is so cute fluttering by the moon.
Thanks so much Gerry. The bat cat is so cute.
This is totally awesome Gayle. Everything you’ve done is fantastic, background, snow and that little adorable bat. A winner for sure.
Thanks, Johanna. This was fun to make. I was afraid that the teal patterened paper wouldn’t take the ink blending but was pretty happy with the result.
Cute card. Your moon is amazing.
What a pretty card. I love the ethereal look of it and then the cute bat cat flying along is wonderful!
Thanks so much Golda.
Well, Gayle, you really nailed it on your snowy background – a wonderful contrast to the crisp lines of your little cat pretending to be a bat! Thanks for playing with us at Two Old Bats. Xoxo, Fran/DT
Thanks, Fran, always fun to play along with Two Old Bats.
Congratulations on being in the top 3! This is a fun card.
