Boo To You

Good Afternoon

A very warm welcome to my blog.  My card for today is a spooky card for Halloween:

The image on the card is a digi stamp from Pollycraft and I have coloured her with coloursoft pencils.  The spiders web was one of those bright ideas that ends up taking an age to do.  The outer shape was created using a Marianne Die and I then threaded black cotton through to create the web.  The wording is die cut using an x-cut alphabet die and the pumpkins are from a My Craft Studio cd.

My card is for the following challenges:

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Halloween

Cutie Sunday - Halloween

Crafting For All Seasons - Fall Flowers/Pumpkins

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Halloween

My Time To Craft - Orange and Black

Shopping Our Stash - Spooky and/or orange and black

Good Evening

I received an email last week advertising a craft magazine called Simply Homemade.  There were one or two things that appealed to me in it, so I asked hubby to have a look for it when he went shopping.  My card is made using some of the papers that came in the magazine.

I followed this weeks sketch at Willow Sketchie Challenge.  The mat she is sat on is a Marianne die.

My card is for the following challenges:

My card for today is made using a digi stamp from Pink Gem Designs.

Good Evening

Today's card is made using another of the Faye Whittaker decoupage sheets from Joanna Sheen. Can you tell I'm a fan of these???

I used a white card base, and then scored the lines onto some platinum pearlescent cardstock to provide a frame for the decoupage.
