Happy Halloween

 The two-week challenge at Art Impressions is "Stencils or Mask".  This was a fun challenge for making backgrounds.  Especially at Halloween since my go to is to mask a moon for a night sky.  Always love the way this turns out, slightly different every time.

I used the witch, pumpkin and sentiment from the Art Impressions Peek A Boo stamp set as well as used several dies from various other Art Impressions sets - Fence dies and a couple bat dies from two other AI stamp sets.  The haunted tree die was from my stash.  I used a circle die to create the moon mask and inked my background with distress oxide inks then removed the mask and used mustard seed distress oxide ink for the moon, leaving a little of the white to create a glow.  I also spattered diluted white paint over the whole background.  I die cut two fences and pieced them together to create a wider fence.  The witch and pumpkin were stamped on cryogen white cardstock and colored with copic markers then cut out with the corresponding dies that come with the set.  I also die cut both images with heavy cardstock and glued to the colored image for more stability.  I popped the pumpkin up with foam tape and put the witch on a wobble.  

I love making Halloween cards, hope you do too!
