A Halloween card without any black... oh my!

Hello everyone! 

I wanted to pop in today and share a Halloween card with you and it's a little non-traditional because I didn't use any black! 
To start- I created a watercolor wash background with Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmalade distress inks. Once dry, I stamp the flourishes (Studio g) and Vintage Note (Stampendous) randomly in Spiced Marmalade ink. I coated the moon with crackle paint to give it some extra texture and shine :) And to create the Halloween scene... I used a Paper Smooches die for the bats, a MFT die for the skyline border and a Tim Holtz die for the spooky little tree.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for all of the comments you leave!
