Once more it's time for a Halloween card for 2 Old Bats where the theme is always "Halloween." I've played there pretty faithfully since the challenges first started. I love making Halloween cards and I figure if I can do Christmas cards all year round, why not Halloween? I seem to be gaining new family members as my grandkids marry and have kids of their own so it's not like I have nobody to receive them. :-D
This spooky Fright Night card was done using one of the images sent to me by a dear friend early last fall after I lost all my digital images (nearly 10,000!) due to a flash drive crash. It was printed in gray scale and I colored it with ProMarkers and gel pens.
The graveyard fence was made with two die cuts, one orange and one black (Spellbinders die) which I offset before adding them at the bottom of the card. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. I really wanted the scary jack-o-lantern head to be the focus of the card so I left it without any embellishments. I'd classify it as a CAS card but many people think it has to have lots of 'white' space to be CAS so I'll leave it to you to decide.

Oh wow I just love this wickedly cool image NC!! How fun! I do love me some Halloween! Thanks for the reminder and awesome inspiration!
Awesome image and all of those cool extras for your fright night card.
Wonderful card. I must admit I don't like making Halloween cards but yours is great. Have a lovely day. Anesha x
OMGosh, that has to be one of the scariest Halloween images ever! So incredibly cool, though! The fence is perfect with him, too. That's so awful about losing 10,000 digis! I don't have quite that many, probably, but I do store them on a flash drive. Thought that would be the safe thing to do. Yikes!
I got so carried away with my comment that I forgot to say "thanks for joining us at Two Old Bats", sheesh!
Nana Connie, we do appreciate so much for being so faithful to 2Old Bats! That jack-o-lanter sure is the focus of the card. Did you color in white around the "head"? Super cool!
