Hello, today I would like to share a pair of ATC's I made with Hallowe'en in mind. My newest acquisitions include a Lavinia fairy castle and teeny tiny dragon, so I tried to represent a flight of the dragon over the castle at night with a blood red sky - very Game of Thrones!!
I created an inky background on a large snippet of stamping card using Gamboge (yellowy orange), Vermillion and Purple brushos spritzed with water, then cut the inked panel into 2 pieces each 3 3/8" x 2 3/8". On each panel I stamped my castle using Versafine Clair, then used a small punched circle mask to create a moon using black Distress oxide ink. I stamped my li'l dragon and some tree branches to frame the scene, then coloured the castle windows and highlighted the moon, dragon and castle with Sakura Stardust pens. Finally I added sentiment stickers related to the flight of the dragon (as I don't have any specific Hallowe'en wordings, but I thought these would work well with the dragon), and added some gold Posca Pen spatter before matting onto standard ATC size cards cut from snippets of black card stock.
Here is an angled pic to try to show the sparkle ...
... and a close up of each ATC.

Oh my goodness I love this dragon and the castle. These are so gorgeous and my hubby and nephews would love these too. They all love dragons as my hubby has been collecting them for years and giving them to the nephews so now they all love them.
These ATCs look fabulous, love the red sky, very atmospheric and spooky with the branches in the background.
