Over on the Splitcoaststampers sight we have a challenge every Tuesday. It's a quirky challenge and leaves a lot to interpretation but one thing that never changes is the desire to bring someone some hope love and joy through the cards we make and to that end each week except the last Tuesday of the month there is someone nominated that is doing it tough for one reason or another as a recipient and we all send our cards to that person. There is a suitable teapot image provided to give inspiration and also a list of things the recipient likes or is interested in and the rest is up to you. The challenge link is below;

Last week (yes I'm running late ...again) the challenge was to send a card to a young man of five who has just completed cancer treatment.
He loves Batman so there have been lots ad lots of Batman cards for him. He will be really surprised when this one turns up in about six weeks. The gallery link is below;

I started by creating the background to the card. I decided to go with the colours from a colour challenge of three weeks ago as I felt this best fitted the theme, those colours being Daffodil Delight A reasonably strong yellow, Flirty Flamingo a strong salmon pink and pacific Point a mid blue.
I wonted to create an explosive dynamic background in keeping with the action spirit of Batman.

It looks like a lot of ink I have used but in fact it is only a couple of drops plus water to give me enough fluid to draw up with disposable pipettes /droppers.
working with one colour at a time and drying between colours I moved the liquid around the paper with a hand held airbrush pump.

Once I was happy with the coverage I put the panel aside and printed of a clip art image from "prettygrafic" as well as the digital stamp words.
I did create the Finn graphic in keeping with the other words.

I love fussy cutting and have very few dies that cut out images. Instead I have a multitude of border dies and doily dies, mainly Spellbinders and Memory Box. 
Once this was done I put the front panels together matting the topper onto some Daffodil Delight card stock and then mounting that to a card base of Pacific Point.
I glued the Batman image to the front panel then attached the words with some dimensional foam.

Picture
The only thing left to do was finish the inside of the card. Normally I create a small panel for the inside of the card when I'm doing the topper panel however I forgot, so out came the inks and droppers again.
I added some white blending card to this panel (some where to write a message) and then mounted this onto some Dafodil Delight card stock and attached this to the inside of the card.
