A bit batty!


 

Good morning, it's time for our October Challenge over at Crafty Calendar, we're sponsored this month by the fabulous Sheepski Designs and there is a theme to follow- Autumn Colours or Halloween. I went with the Halloween theme because I wanted to use this cute sponsor digi I was lucky enough to win some time ago, it's called 'Bit Batty', hence the title of the post- I was not referring to myself.... 

I printed the image and coloured it with markers, then masked off a large circle for the moon. I attempted to colour the moon and sky with markers and made a right old mess of it! So I started again using Distress inks, added a few whit splats for stars, I.was much happier with this and to save colouring the image again I cut out the original one and stuck it on top! 

There's some lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT over at Crafty Calendar so head on over for a Halloween (or Autumn) treat.

Thanks for visiting

Happy Weekend.

Chris

As the others have said the colours and background are great, just the right amount of Halloween but not too scary.
