EEK Zentangle Stamping Halloween Card

This card was made in particular for the September 20, 2015 Heart2Heart Challenge "Doodling." I further challenge myself by combining other challenges to create something that incorporates the requirements of each challenge.  For Color: ColorMyHeart Color Dare #160; For Sketch: Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #126; and did a Halloween theme for entry in a new random draw challenge at ChouxChoux Challenge #1.  

Let's start with the background of this card.  A neighbor and friend of mine introduced me to the Zentangle technique (definition:  a freehand style using abstract patterned drawings and should not be representative of any certain recognizable object)  Well, I improvised and used a variety of stamps sets for my abstracts and also added Halloween recognizable objects.  My daughter has continually told me "in any crafting there are no boundaries, you can do what you want".  

Heart2Heart Challenges - Monday, September 21, 2015,  Incorporate "Doodling" into your artwork this week. Doodling is incorporated more and more into fun designs and it will be enjoyable to see how you interpret this. 

This card was so much fun...Went through my different stamp sets and picked out small stamps that I thought would make a nice pattern and other stamps for the Halloween images.  The background covered the black and white for the color challenge, now I have to bring in the other two colors which were so appropriate for Fall (Goldrush and Ruby).  No fussy-cutting on this card, all the images were die-cuts from Cricut Design Space, and adhered them with 3D Thin Foam Tape and Clear Wink of Stella added to the spider and cat.  On the inside I used some of the extra cuts, and added the Sentiment.
