IMPRESSION OBSESSION-BLOG HOP DAY 2!


Welcome back for day two of the Fall/ Winter Die Blog Hop!
Today's Hop will feature Halloween.
The hop will run for three days (10/24/16 - 10/26/16). Visit the IO Design Team's Blog for a chance to win one of THREE $25 IO Gift Certificates!

You can find all the details on the IO BLOG.

Lets see what treats the IODT has for you today!
Here I have used two new die sets. 
Love, love, love the Adapt-A Background dies.
The Bead Adapt-A Background used on this card is the same one as I used yesterday!
Totally different look!
Just think of all the great designs you can create with these dies!


I took the Bead Adapt-A Background and cut it in the purple polka dot paper.   If you look closely, you can see where I cut out some of the beaded strips of purple dotted paper and where I left some in. 
The beaded strips were also cut in black. The black beaded strips were inlayed into the  negative part where the purple had been. This created a fun background design for the Bat with Sign.


Inside my card I used some of the beaded strips that were cutouts from the original BG. Bats About You was stamped in Versafine.

Thanks for looking, see you tomorrow for Day 3!

    Bead Background and Bats! Now say that 3 times quickly! I love that you used that great magenta or plum pinkish color with the black. I'm liking that Bead BG die a lot. IO is the best! Thanks for sharing your creativity! kReN@afourthlife
