I decided to go with "good witch" for this challenge. The girl & broom are actually 2 separate images. I just "married" them in Photoshop, and printed them on a piece of 140 lb. watercolor paper. I die cut the curved edge with the smallest circle die in the set, and colored the image with my Inktense pencils. I decided to make it look like she's flying in front of the moon, so I used Scattered Straw Distress ink to watercolor the background around her, adding some darker spots for "craters." I notched the ends of the greeting strip, mostly so the "spooky" (the only greeting I could find that would fit!) wouldn't look quite so overwhelmed.

Okay, let me digress. I see from your merged images that you are a Photoshop/digital master. Did you print this on inkjet? How do you keep the black ink from running when you add water? I printed on multi-media paper, heat set it, but it still bled. Any suggestions?
Now, I am pretty impressed with the merging of those images so well. Very well done. Great coloring. Perfect for the challenge. Thanks so much for playing!
