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!

Oh I love the monochromatic look. This came out really cool, I'll have to try to make a Halloween card without any black too, great Challenge! I love your moon and your flying bats. Adding the skyline and the creepy tree looks great, very clever! Well done! This is just creepy enough lol Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Fright Night Challenge, Donna DT Member.

Love how that moon turned out. And the background. It's an original design, it's standing out as there's no black. Cool!

Donna said...

What a stunning card Tammy, that background wash and the moon are fabulous and the orange die cuts with no black is such a wow factor!
