Thank you so much for all the Birthday wishes yesterday.  🙂  I had a lovely day at the Cincinnati Zoo and then had dinner with loved ones.  So my birthday turned out to be a perfect day.

Now regarding the tutorial today,  I have noticed the weather is turning cooler already here in Ohio and it is only September 1st.  It has put me in the mood for a Halloween scene.  This was created with my unmounted Stampin’ Up Wheel Stamp, Haunting.  Grab you brayer and play along.  🙂

Brayered Apricot Appeal ink at the top of a 3.5″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Masked the moon with a 1 3/4″ circle punch, punched from the stick part of a post it note.

Brayered Pumpkin Pie ink over the mask at the top of the card stock.

Brayered Elegant Eggplant at the top of the card stock, not covering the Pumpkin Pie ink entirely.

Removed the post it note mask from the moon and sponged a bit of Elegant Eggplant ink on creating a cloud shape.

Added a bit of Basic Black ink with a sponge in the center of the cloud shapes.

Stamped the Unmounted Wheel Stamp, Haunting across the bottom of the card stock with Basic Black ink.

Added White Gel pen highlights and colored in their eyes with the same white gel pen.

Added a few dots in the sky with a white gel pen and sponged some Basic Black ink at the bottom of the main image panel before assembling the panel layers.  Also added 4 silver brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be filled unexpected delights.

Until my next post. . . . .

Huge Hugs,

Michelle
