Hello again and happy Wednesday! I've made another fun card with Simon Says Stamp Ocean Horizon today. This time I've paired it with SSS Birdies who look a little nervous to find themselves out on Halloween night. The sentiment, ghost, and stamped bats joined in from elsewhere in my stash.
Nothing but make believe here, and a whole lot smiles in the process. I used a different method this time for the background. I blended the inks first, and then cut. Just experimenting. There are endless things you can do with this background die. Use all or part of it, flip it upside down for a sunrise, make a funky rainbow, color it any which way. Not selling, just saying. Today I blended green at the lower edge to suggest land rather than ocean.
Thanks for visiting! Have a happy day!

Such a fun and whimsical halloween card. Not too spooky at all. Those birds do look a bit perplexed though! Your background is just perfect for this moonlit scene.
ReplyDeleteCute card. Love the white background on the words. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Love those little birds.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...I love this one as much as I loved yesterdays card Leslie! That background die in your hands is FABULOUS!! The colors today are perfect for Halloween and those birdies are totally making me smile! Awesome card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLeslie, if you joined my husband on the deck while he is photographing the Heavens above you'd not smile when the bats come out! I'm always so afraid he'll bring one in with him!!! EEEK!
ReplyDeleteThat background die is a keeper for sure - see those birds' eyes? Just what mine look like when he slides that door open!
Such a great Halloween card!

Adorable, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteIf I were those birds I would be creeped out by those bats too! The little ghost, not so much, he's a cutie! This is fun, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteBats are creepy but not on this card! I'm loving your creativity with this FUN background die. Can't wait to see it again! The birds are adorable in black and white. They do look a bit spooked!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it's the bats or the ghost that scared these birds, Leslie! What a great sky!
ReplyDeleteJust love the look of this. What a brilliant ghosty image and card!
ReplyDeleteFabulous background and I love the bats-we watch them circling round the gardens when Daughters dog goes out for the last time.

You are doing a fabulous job with that die for great backgrounds, I think having the ghost under them and bats flying above have the poor birds scared. Wonderful blending of the colors and like the shadow you put on the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Leslie. Love that you gave that die another spin. I just love those white wings...and the ghost.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a GREAT background! Love the entire scene! Well done my friend ... what fun!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Two Old Bats challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
