On a 4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White brayered Baja Breeze ink at the top and bottom of the card stock.

Brayered Island Indigo at the top of the card stock.

Ripped the edge off of a post it note and used it as a mask for the ground area.

Stamped the Lovely as a Tree stamp twice using Island Indigo.

Sponged Island Indigo at the post it note edge.

Sponged a bit of Basic Black right at the post it note edge.

Removed the post it note mask and lightly sponged Basic Black under the horizon line.

Ripped a post it note in the shape of  a path.  Tried to rip as much from the sticky part of the post it note as possible.  Lightly Sponged Island Indigo in the ground area.

Removed the path mask.  Stamped the branches, bats and moon from the Out on a Limb set using Basic Black ink.  Colored in the Moon using a White Gel Pen.

Also, masked the bottom half of the ground with a post it note,  stamped the limb again using it as a tree with Basic Black ink. 

Distressed a piece of Designer Series paper and the edges of the main image panel using Basic Black ink.

Rubbed the On Board (Chip Board) Three & One on a Basic Black pad to color the front of them.

Using the Calendar Alphabet & Number set, stamped OCT using Basic Black ink.

Assembled my card adding two Basic Black panels and another Designer Series Paper panel.  Added a Basic Black marker line under the OCT.

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

May your walk in the woods be light and not so creepy, lol.

Until my next post I will be in Sunny Florida teaching some fabulous Women how to brayer. 

Have a great rest of the week.

    Wow this is a funny one, I really like it, such a pity I cannot buy these stamps…. I will give it a try with an owl or somethink likewise (whatever I can find in my stash). At least I do have the Lovely as a tree set! thanks for sharing Mickey and be careful on the road please!

    Great tutorial, as always!! I really like how you used the Lovely as a Tree stamp. It gives so much depth to the scene. That is one of the most useful stamp sets that I own… truly a classic.

    I adored this card and I think I left a comment! I’m so very glad to see this great tutorial! THANK YOU! Unfortunately I don’t have the stamp set with the bats so I’ll have to improvise that part. I was thinking how cool monster foot prints would look on the path, as well. I don’t know if I have any stamps to achieve that but I think it would look cool! See, Michelle … you are so inspiring! 🙂
