I stamped the bat and then masked it. The moon was a simple circle which further masked the card. I then used my dauber to ink from the edges inwards getting lighter as I moved inwards. When the masks are removed the moon looks like it really 'glows'. I added a bit of shading to the moon itself, coloured the bat and stamped a sentiment.

Great inking and I love the fact that the bat isn't really too scary even if he is trying to be!!
Wow really cool card! Love it!!
Your background shading around the moon is fabulous Annette... and like you say, really makes the moon glow! Have you tried using one of the blending sponges too? I have far more success with those than I do with the TH blending tool.. but I've not tried the daubers.
