Day Five TDoHNC: Darling, you've gone completely batty!

It's day five and we've gone batty!

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!

    1. I 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.
