The card I've made for the hop features some of the adorable images 

from the new Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set. 

I simply could't resist including as many of these cute dressed up pups as I could fit onto this A2 sized Halloween card. I started by creating a moody halloween night backdrop complete with full moon. I used a small circle die to create a moon mask before I inked blended on a combo of Catherine Pooler Royal Treatment & Black Jack inks for the sky area. For the grass area I used a combo of CP Lime Rickey & Black Jack. Before removing the circle mask, I generously splattered the entire background with some iridescent white watercolor. 

I've Copic colored all the fun images used for this scene which are included in the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set. The greeting I stamped on the moon also comes from that set. Below are the Copic combinations I used:  

• pumpkins - YR12, YR16, YR18
• witch dog - E31, E34, E35
• mummy dog - E31, E34
• dog in jack-o-lantern - Y32, Y23, Y26
• ghost dog - E42, E43, E71
• bat dog - W1, W3, W4, W6
• shading on white areas - N0, N2
• black hats, cape, bat wings - N4, N6, N8
• rosy cheeks - R00, R21
• stars - Y11, Y13

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Next stop on the blog hop is Marine Simon.
