HAUNTED HOUSE, Countdown to Halloween Project #20...

A very simple card...  Still working on my braying skills.  They are sorely lacking despite many years of practice!  So, I ended up using lots of sponging, too.  But, I have another one I've been working on that I will post tomorrow.  For some reason I can't get the camera to pick up all the color graduation - the pumpkin pie color looks as dark as the chocolate chip in the picture. Looks better in person. Sorry!

For the main piece, this is what I did:

1. Stamped the image in Basic Black craft ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.
2. Use a 1 3/8" circle to mask the moon over the house and brayed the whole piece with Summer Sun.
3. Then I sponged Pumpkin Pie around the image followed by Chocolate Chip close to the edges.
