BOO! - DTC #177 "Fall Bat Color Challenge" partnering with A Cut Above

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #177 "Fall Bat Color Challenge" Thing 1's requirement is to choose three or more Fall Bat colors with neutrals free to use. 

I knew exactly the image I was going to pull out of my stash as it fit the color requirement perfectly. It was an image I colored at Jenn Dove's Bootcamp in December of 2021.  Can't believe it took me this long before making a card using my  Kitty 'n Pumpkin colored image. Along with the coloring of the image we learned how to create the background scene (grass and trees) around this cute kitty using our alcohol markers. 

Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist was to use at least one die so we could enter our entry into our partner's challenge at A Cut Above "Anything Goes". I didn’t want to cover up my masterpiece so cut the scene using a torn edge rectangle die, backed with a wide black cardstock border and adhered to card base. A sentiment "Boo" was added using another die.  

This was a fast card to get together; but my initial coloring and creating the scene was at least a half a day at Bootcamp and finishing up after class.  I am so pleased with my coloring, and would love to do another scenic background, even though it took me three years to display it... lol.  

 
The Fall Bat colors chosen were also a great match to Color Dare's Challenge #621 "TicTacToe", Column 2:  Sundance (Yellow), Pumpkin (Orange), Evergreen (Green) plus Honey Butter (Yellow) and Capri (Blue). 

On the inside of card base, bottom right-hand corner I added another tree die and cut using black cardstock as a means to pull in the forest inside.
