I cut a fancy border from black glitter card using a Martha Stewart PATP, then layered Bazzill cardstock and black DP (Basic Grey Eerie, I think). I painted Tilda using Distress Markers and cut her out. I stamped the moon from the Magnolia Sports/Space collection and painted that using Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Now for the fun part: after covering everything in sight with newspaper, I masked the moon with a post-it and squirted the watercolour card square with various Glimmer Mists - Charcoal, Pearl and Dazzling Diamonds. I also sprinked a little bit of Glamour Dust here and there. The end result is quite effective irl.
I cut the swirls (Memory Box) and bats (CC Designs) from the same black glitter card; I had to chop up the swirls a bit to get them to go in the direction I wanted. You can't tell from the photo, but Tilda is mounted on a piece of coiled wire so that she bobs about on her broomstick!
I'm going to enter this card in the following challenges:
Dieing for a Challenge - Hallowe'en
Live and Love Crafts - Hallowe'en/Autumn Colours
Simply Magnolia - Sparkle and Swirls
It was lovely having an extra hour this morning, but it's only mid-afternoon and it's nearly dark! Time to light the fire, I think.
