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
