Halloween is just around the corner and I was in the mood to create something for that upcoming occasion. I sponged a piece of card with 3 different blue distress inks, while masking a circle in the middle to represent the moon. I swiped a few streaks of mustard and squeezed lemon distress ink through the center of the moon to create shadows, then added a die-cut raven on a branch from Gina Marie Designs. I gave him an eye with a white gel pen. I stamped a flying bird from SNSS, a 2 bats from a stick stamp by Judith, and added some gold stars which were negatives from a SSS heart border die, along with some glitter Nuvo drops for more tiny stars. The sentiment was computer generated, and I added an IO die-cut ghost with orange eyes and mouth to finish this card. The card base is Lemon Lime from SU!
I'm entering this card into the Double D Challenge - the Moon and/or Stars which includes this mood board to use for inspiration:
Thanks for the visit, it's always appreciated and I leave you with my best wishes for a wonderful day! Life is good :)

Great Halloween card! The little bit of yellow over the moon is just right!
Fabulous scene and you did capture the spooky feeling too.
I love Halloween too Carol and this card is fabulous with that sky you've created with the moon glowing! Very eerie and fun with the branch and bird!! That little ghost around the sentiment is so fun! :) HUGS
Great card, Carol, love your spooky scene. xx
You are always full of clever ideas! :d This raven against the full moon is spooky and fun! Your inked background and your moon with shades are wonderful! You catched so well the halloween feel and have done a so creative take of the challenge! The flying bird and bats with the stars and drops add some texture and the banner with ghost are just perfect! Well done!
I just love this card, Carol! Love the spooky scene you created with the raven and the bats but that little ghost steals the show for me! Love the color of him and his orange eyes & mouth! Such a fantastic background too! Spooky fun Halloween card! :)
You did a great take on the inspiration board! I saw moon and stars and didn't look at the pictures.....now I'm not sure I will post my card as it looks nothing like the inspiration board??!! Oh well it's still a card for the stash! Fun card love all the little extras ghost, bats ect.
All the fall and winter holidays will be upon us in a flash Carol, good idea to get started!! Love this scene you have created, it is the perfect Halloween evening scene. Loving that evening sky and moon you have created! Hugs, Brenda
