I stamped the jack-o-lantern image with Marvy dye black ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored the image with Copic markers. I then proceeded to cover the image with a Versamarker and added clear embossing powder and heated with a heat gun. This created protection for the brayering and sponging that was about to begin.
I then placed a Post-It Note circle cut from a circle punch to cover and protect the area where I wanted my moon to be. I began brayering Adirondack Sunshine Yellow dye ink, Adirondack Sunset Orange dye ink, and Adirondack Rust dye ink onto the cardstock. I then sponged some Vivid Purple dye ink around the edges of the sky.
I removed the Post-It note circle and then used the negative of my punch to sponge in SeaShells Conch Shell dye ink and Adirondack Sunshine Yellow dye ink to make the moon.
For the ground, I tore a post it note to mask the horizon and proceeded to brayer and sponge Distress Ink Peeled Paint dye ink, Adirondack Lettuce dye ink, Colorbox Olive Pastel dye ink, and Marvy Brown dye ink, thus making the ground. I then used my Cricut to cut a tree image.
Using the negative of that cut, I added the two trees to the scene by sponging Marvy Brown dye ink.
Finally, I was ready for the witch! I stamped her using Versafine Onxy Black ink (hands-down best ink for detail stamping). I added panels of black cardstock and Lasting Impressions patterned paper to layer the card. A corner punch, some ribbon and some black rhinestones put the finishing touches on this card.

Frightfully fabulous card. Love the brayering and that rather scarry nighttime scene. Totally wonderful.
