Using inspiration from the Two Old Bats mood board, I knew I wanted books, a witch hat and a moon. I went on my search for The Rabbit Hole’s Autumn is Calling stamp and die set for my stack of books, The branch with black birds is my much loved Inkadinkadoo’s Halloween Trails and after first stamping and die cutting a witch hat from TH Sizzix set, I pulled it off and added a felt ephemera from my stash. My background was ink blended in Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks using my circle stencil cut from cardstock. My card will be shared with:

I know I have Halloween sentiment strips somewhere in my stash but they didn’t seem to want to be located so I opted to leave a sentiment off of the front of my card. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay COOL and make it a great day.

Love your inked background and your colorful stack of books! That is a great bird and branch stamp as well.
Thanks so much, Lisa.
I like the books. Nice card!
Thanks, Lisa, the top of the books has leaves and flowers which I covered with the witch hat. One of my favs.
Great Halloween card. You did a great job emulating the mood board.
