Jen is this week's TPT hostess - her challenge is here: MMTPT690 - October 12, 2021 - Halloween Humor by Jennifrann at Splitcoaststampers
Neither humour nor Halloween are my good suit, so I'm afraid I've pretty much just gone with the fact that Ciara loves Halloween and spaced on everything else.
I used two gel prints in the background - a copper starry one, and part of a green and blue one for the ground. My gates are cut from matt silver card, and I created walls by embossing some pearlescent card with a brick wall stencil.
The Victorian gentleman is cut from black velvet paper, super to feel. The moon is vellum, and the bats are purple holographic card. I guess I should have looked for baby blue, but the purple was to hand. The image panel is edged with purple Stickles.

This sure speaks humorous Halloween to me! The dapper, velvet gentleman catching bats presents a lovely silhouette against your amazing backgrounds and white brick wall, but that creepy gate steals the show!!!

What do you mean you spaced out on Halloween and humor? This is a hilarious Halloween card - that gentleman with a butterfly net trying to catch bats sent me ROFL! Love the silver gates and the black velvet!

Love the perspective of that gate with it's spired center point. Your gentleman actually LOOKS rich so that must be the velvet card. ha ha just saw that he is hunting bats with a butterfly net (takes my eyes a bit to catch all the subtlies)

I agree with Gem...and those holographic bats are just the bomb!
Brilliant use of that man in an imaginative way. Love the gate and brick walls...and the playful moonlit night.

I am loving this card! The gates on the clever done walls and the velvet man and the holo bats...I could believe in those days they might hire someone to get rid of bats for them....lovely pull together of different things like the two gel prints....
I agree. You do Halloween proud.
