So what do we want you to do this week?

HALLOWEEN COLOURS .... so it doesn't have to be a Halloween card - STAMPS ONLY REMEMBER!!

Here is my card.........................



...........and the closeup...........


Now I must say that I have taken some inspiration from a fellow crafter with the colouring. She is called Phree and her blog is Ink Stain Suirvivor some of you may know her as she does WOYWDW. When I purchased the Spookylicious set from Elusive Images I got a few inspiration leaflets too and one of Phree's cards was there. I have nowhere near matched her example but I thought the effect with the green surrounding the house was really spooky. The spider paper was torn from a book and distressed to within an inch of its life!!!! Glimmer mist and Distress inks and scrunching up and tearing were involved and I loved it!!

Please visit my team mates and get some more inspiration their links are on my sidebar. I would also like to wish a warm welcome to our new team mates - Benedicte, Joanna and Shirley.
