SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ MAKE A SUNSET SCENE

Hi friends, I am hosting the challenge on the Seize the Birthday Card Challenge this time.
I thought a sunset scene would be different and fun.
And then I had to come up with an idea, sorry if I made this hard for you!
But it just so happens when I was thinking about what I could do with a sunset scene, I remembered I have an older brother whose birthday is actually on Halloween!  Alright, so I came up with my plan for his birthday card using a sunset scene!

I masked off a circle for my moon and then using DOX inks of wilted violet, prize ribbon and twisted citron, I blended in my night sky.  I then added some stars with a gel pen.
The cat, bats and most of the sentiment is from Gina K: Haunts & Harvest

I hope you will have fun with this topping for our challenge this time, if not, you are always most welcome to make any kind of card as long as it is a BIRTHDAY CARD!

Now check out the inspiration from the design team and our special party guest:

 
Heart Hugs, friends!

How cool to have a birthday on Halloween! I can imagine all the fun things for him over the years. This is a great card and that cat looks stunned at how old he is!

Colleen a neat card for your brother who has a birthday on Halloween. I had fun with this one, but I must admit that I originally did a mood, and then last minute discovered that it needed to be a sunset, so I just changed the words. Lol Lucky me!
