Happy Halloween

German Phrase of the Day: Du siehst wie ein Gespenst aus. = You look like a ghost. Ghost in German is pronounced GEH-shpehnst. Another fun word!! :-)

This is the Halloween card I sent to my Diva Swap sister Yvette this month. I had seen a card somewhat similar in my blog travels and decided to create one of my own. I started with some Glossy White CS and wheeled Spooky Skyline with Black Craft ink. Next, I sprinkled on some black detail embossing powder and heat set.

Next step was to create the moon. I used the large circle from Big Pieces and stamped that with versamark, somewhat overlapping the trees. Next, I embossed it with clear ep. The next step was to add some color. I actually did two versions of this card, but the first turned out too dark (sorry Sher...you got that one!) For this one I used Pumpkin Pie, Lovely Lilac and Night of Navy reinkers on an alcohol soaked cotton ball. I simply substituted Lovely Lilac for Elegant Eggplant on this version to lighten it up a little. I mounted the Glossy piece on Basic black, then onto a Pumpkin Pie card.

After I finished that it still didn't look done yet, so I added the Bat from Batty for You layered on Pumpkin Pie and a Black scalloped circle to finish the card off.
