Brayered Peach Parfait ink at the bottom of a 3.25″ x 7″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Brayered Rich Razzleberry ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayed Elegant Eggplant ink at the very top of the card stock.
Punched a 2.5″ circle out of the sticky part of a post it note and out of a piece of card stock.
Stuck the sticky note circle mask on the card stock. Lined up the negative circle over the Sticky Note Circle so there is a crescent moon shape showing of the card stock.
Sponged Whisper White craft ink in the creasant shape.
Removed the mask and stamped the tree/owl stamp from the Stampin’ Up House of Haunts set using Basic Black ink.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Stamped the Bats from the Stampin’ Up set Wicked Cool using Basic Black ink.
Colored over the bats that were stamped over the moon with a Basic Black marker to darken them.
Added White Gel Pen highlights on the tree and owl.
Added Basic Black and Peach Parfait card stock panels and Gold Brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 4″ x 9″.
Hope you are having a wonderful Halloween week.
Until my next post. . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle

I just knew you would do this tree!! And what an awesome card. Of course my favorite part is the tree and owl — your trees always come to life with your highlighting. Simply beautiful.

Wow, you’re just north of where I live! I hope you haven’t gotten too cold this past week. Nice and warm today, though.
Like we could forget you, hah! Another great card and fantastic tutorial. Thanks!
Super, super card!! Hope you’re enjoying Colorado. Today was such a gorgeous day in Colorado… near 80 where I was visiting in south Denver and just such a nice day to be out and about. Hubby was so kind to take me to Denver to do some craft shopping, so I had a great time!! LOL!!
I just love this scene! I always like Halloween scenes even though I don’t send out Halloween cards. Great job!
