I made this card using a really fabulous but sadly retired Stampin Up! set called "Dark and Dreary", there is nothing cute or adorable in this set, the images really give meaning to the name. But non the less, they are beautiful, specially this black Raven, which reminds me of that Edgar Allan Poe poem, gives me the chills.
I didn't think of adding anything to this card except the glittery orange brad and that punched out "BOO", no water coloring this time, only a sponged background around the image, which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Ninah Solar White paper and then I punched it out with SU Scalloped Tag Topper.
The pattern paper is from Stamping up, but it's really old and I forgot to which collection it belongs to. Here is the banner that inspired this card.
This is all for today, thank you very much for visiting, until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

I like the tag used on a Halloween card ! Plus that spooky Raven looks like he could peck you !! Really like your shading to add dimension .
That DSP is Witch`s Brew /SU . I was using some of it last night .
Great Halloween card !!
Thank you Sonny for giving the name of that DSP, I found a nice size piece on my orange scrap box. This set is so awesome!!
The Death Bird they call it! Very cool spotlighting him with your sponging! Mojo what a great Sketch!
Beautiful! I love the sponging around your raven.
This poem gives me the chills, I went and look for an excerpt but didn't finish reading it, sheeesh!!
Non the less, this image is beautiful in all it's dreariness.
Thank you Brian, I'm glad I decided to mask a moon and sponge around it.
LOVE the silhouetted bird/moon!
