A Pair of Moons for The Twofer Challenge.

Hello everyone: Every time I post here on my little blog, I'm wishing for you and your families are doing well dealing with all the stressful issues we are facing every day but, I firmly believe change is coming and this means the healing will begin.  This will take some time, there's no doubt about that but, we must stand together and be patient and love each other through every step of this Journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have another pair of Twofers to participate in one of my most favorite challenges, I had a blast in the process of making these cards.


*******************************************************
This is my first card, I made it a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square.
I sponged the night sky with Memento black ink, I didn't want a solid sky, I wanted to give a hint of a foggy night.
I used Prismacolor pencils to color my image.


*******************************************************
This is the inside.


This is what I use to create the first card, inside and out.

Power Poppy "Feeling Fall" 
Martha Steward Witch Punch.
Spellbinders "Hemstitch Square dies.
Flourishes "Witching You a Happy Halloween" sentiment.
Ghosts, (stamped on Vellum and fussy cut), bat and tumb stone, and cat and pumpkin inside, from Kraftin' Kimmie.
The sentiment inside is from Inkadinkado.
Waffle Flower "Layering Marble" stamp set for the "Moon Craters"
DSP from my stash.
****************************************************
This is my Twofer.
I also sponged the night sky with Memento black ink, I made it a bit more dark than on the Halloween card.


This is the inside.


This is what I used to create my Twofer, inside and out.

Katzelkraft Les Chiens (The Dogs)
Stampin' Up! "Holiday Home" (retired)
Purple Onion "Sign" 
The sentiment on it is from Power Poppy's Simple Joys (on sale😉
Waffle Flower for the "Craters on the Moon".
Power Poppy "Simple Joys" for the sentiment.
Power Poppy " Merry Littles. (gift).

I want to play with the following challenges.

Stay healthy and safe.

You’re real talented building scenes! And always great with your clouds love the two evening skies!

Maria, it's fun to see your design depicting Santa and his reindeer flying across the moon on one card and a witch flying across the moon on the second card! They are both delightful scenes filled with color and detail and the insides, as always, complete the story. I love that dalmatian dog on one and the stack of pumpkins on the other! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #30! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell

What a cute image of the dog watching Santa. So cute. I love that sentiment on the Halloween card. Pretty paper and I like how you decorated the inside of it.

These are darling, Maria! That dog is amazing, as is the whole Christmas Eve night scene you've created. Beautiful moon with Santa in his sleigh looks perfect! Love the little present he's gotten too! And your Halloween card is perfect for the season. A full moon is just right for a Halloween card! Your coloring is wonderful, btw! Thanks for sharing the insides of both cards, and thank you for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev

This is always a fun challenge and I've been drawn to it from the start. I really didn't have time this month, but I thought about it a lot. I even had a stamp and some dies out. Love your two cards. You always come up with something fabulous! Your foggy sky looks like our Oregon coast many nights!
