Spookylicious

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all OK. Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made suggestions about dealing with a 4 year old who won't sleep through.  She is getting slowly better and I know in time all will be well.

I found a fabulous place for papers and she is giving away the ones I used in my card - Bearly Mine Designs - you must check it out.

I have used the shown below from Sketch Saturday..................

...................and here is a closeup of my card............


The image of the witch, the two bats and the small tag sentiment are from Penny Black. I have used water colour crayons for the main image and TH Distress Ink - Black Soot for the bats.


The "Spookylicious" sentiment is from an Inkadinkadoo set. It has been cut out with my deckle edge scissors and inked around th eedges with TH Distress Inks - Tea Dye and Scattered Straw as has the tag. I have added fibres to the tag in purple, orange and green. The buttons are from the Papermania Capsule collection.

I am entering the following challenges:-

All the following have Halloween challenges



Sentimental Sundays - Tag and sentiment,

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Scary Creatures,

Tuesday Taggers - More than 2 legs,

Think I have been away too long. Eye Candy for the ladies only? Where is the pic of Penny Cruz for the boys? Oh and talking about lack of sleep. I had dreams of the Chilean miners escaping up through my living room floorboards. Any ideas how to get manky muck out of a woolen carpet?

Hello Ali.... its been along time...i'm sorry.
Hope you get your 4 year old to sleep through soon.... then maybe you can tell me how to do it as one of my twins who are now 5 has never slept through the night yet.
What a delightful card you've made.
Thanks for sharing with us at TT this week.... i'll try not to be so long before i visit again.
