I had just received my Watercolor Plaid Stencils from the latest release at PTI, and had to try them out with a few Halloween colors!
I used Gina K inks for the plaid (Key Lime, Lucky Clover, Tangerine Twist & Tomato Soup) background and then used The Greetery's Crimped Rectangle Die to give some interest to edges of the plaid panel. I also used The Greetery's Crimped Circle Die to stamp my greeting on and add the cute little mouse from CCC's Pumpkin Bucket mini stamp set. A few Diso Ball Sequins (Gina K) and some black & white baker's twine finished off my first card.
I took a closeup photo hoping you'd be able to see the WOS on the bats wings, but no such luck! I added a few PFS orange sparkly gems to finish this one.
I would also like to enter these 2 cards into Darnell's NBUS #54 Challenge since I bought both of these mini Halloween stamp sets last year when they were on sale and just used them for the 1st time now. Better late than never, right? RIGHT??!!
The Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge is open till September 28, so check out all the fun inspiration and then play along!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Just so cute, Marcia! and we forgot to coordinate our shopping this month - I bought this stencil, too!!!

Oh, my GOSH, these are so CUTE! Just the sort of Halloween cards I love. Perfect for the little ones, but for us grown up kids, too. The watercolor plaid stencil is amazing and you chose wonderful fall colors. I always enjoy your mixed and matched products. It's all about the fun!
First of all, if I haven't said it before, congratulations on your new baby grandson! I'll have to scroll backwards (story of my life these days!🙃)to see if there's a photo. Your two Halloween cards are so cute and just perfect for the littles! You watercolored those plaids through a stencil and did it that neatly? I must check out those stencils! The plaids and borders add tons of interest to the cut AJ images. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
