Hi peeps - hope you are having a good week - it's actually sunny this afternoon in West Yorkshire - yay! Think this might be a looooong post so grab a cuppa and pull up a chair!
This is my first ever Halloween card - thought I would join in the fun this year and do something scary!!
Actually, this fab little digi witch is quite sweet really,
apart from that slime green cake covered in cobwebs,
and that very suspect little shopping bag from Harvey Nicks, full of bats, dripping blood and goodness knows what else.
This was one of several fab. digi images from Tiddly Inks, which I won in Larissa'srecent Blog Candy draw. You might like to pop over and leave Larissa some lurve, and then pop into the Tiddly Inks shop - if so, just click the links above.
Soooooooooooo - onto my card,, which I am entering
into 5 Challenges:-
Sentimental Sundays :- Autumn or Fall
There She Goes :- Purple, Orange and Lime
Cowgirl-up Designs!:-Anything Goes!
By The Cute and Girly :- Spooky!
Moving Along With The Times :- Fairies or Fantasy.
The cardstock is purple Bazzill lined with black.
Black cobweb lace and orange ribbon bought from the new Boyes store in Ilkley - love that shop!
Image coloured mainly with Copics, plus Dusty Concord DI for shading on the dress and Weathered Wood DI around the edges of the piece.
Corner cobweb drawn freehand with fine pen.
Black stitching done on my sewing machine.
The Halloween Ticket Sentiment is from a set by Ann Vento at http://whimsystamps.com/. Ann's designs are
fabulous and are well worth checking out.
Orange stickles, Glamour Dust, and some black beads from a very old necklace, to finish.
Phew - hope I have remembered to mention everyone involved in this production!
Lots of love to all who visit -

I don't "do" Halloween but I have to confess she's a very lovely looking witch. You could almost convert me with this stunning card, Sylvia. I love the cobwebs.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Fabulous card Silvia. I`ve never done Halloween before either but have some bits ready to start for this year. We have 3 Boyes stores in Hull, it`s where I get most of my ribbon from, but I`m going to have to look out for that cobweb lace, it`s gorgeous.

Wow Sylvia, for a first timer this is stunning. I love all the details and that image is so cute. I haven't heard of Tidley Winks before so I'll be sure and check it out. Thanks for the link! Fall is fast approaching here with rain and colder temperatures starting next week. The trees are just beginning to turn their beautiful fall color. I love the change of seasons! Conley is having surgery Friday so I probably won't get a chance to create much the next few days. Been busy getting my posts done to schedule ahead. Thanks for stopping by my friend. Have a wonderful week ahead. "Hugs" Carol
