Bats made me think of haunted houses, which strangely made me think of ornate wall paper ( a la Disney's Haunted Mansion). After all of that, I arrived at the design below.
A bit more tame than the past two days... but I kinda love them. (I am going to try this during the holidays with red and white stripes and holly sprigs)
I started with a base of Finger Paints Paper Mache. I then painted two coats of Sally Hansen Hi-Definition DVD.
With Stripe Rite in white I did the vertical stripes, then added the bats with Finger Paints striper in Ch-Art-coal Black.
I have to say, I have been super psyched with all my designs the past week. Also, I have loved everything Kelly, Jennifer & Heather have done. It's amazing how different how everyone interprets a theme.
The challenge continues again on Monday. Fear not because I will be posting this weekend with the assistance of my lovely guest blogger- my mom, Marina. She will be rocking some pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Be sure to check out the awesome ladies of the nail challenge...

Returning on Monday, day six... Spiderwebs!
I love the base color you used here! The strips on top make it look almost 3d!
ReplyDeletethanks much! This color is super fun... looks great over black and purple, too. I have been dying to do stripes or plaid ...
DeleteAwesome job! I love the base color you used as well! Such a pretty purple!! Your bats are very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love purple and it is such a Halloween color! The bats were fun, but it was tough to keep my striper brush from getting too gloppy and thick.
