Spooky Night Flight!

 

Boo to you, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a frightfully fun little card featuring the Witchy Boo Crew by Kat Scrappiness. This card is packed with Halloween charm—from the beautifully inked night sky to the spooky trees setting the perfect scene. And just look at these adorable Halloween cuties! They’re all dressed up and ready for tricks, treats, and a whole lot of witchy-cute fun.

For the spooky sky background, I ink blended Wilted Violet, Prize Ribbon, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron Distress Ink. 

I used the new All Fenced In Craft Die with a piece of white wood grained cardstock.  To give it the gray color, I used Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide for the main color and then went back in with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink to dust up the texture on the paper.  

Aren't you just loving those scary trees in the background?  I used the Trio Of Trees Craft Die to cut them out of black cardstock.

• W1, W3, W5, W7 - black

To finish up this card, I added a few little confetti bits to sparkle up the sky.

I didn't put a sentiment on the front of this card because it was busy enough and I actually left the inside blank for a unique and heartfelt message.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Happy crafting!
