Hello blogworld
Well here I am with a card for the new challenge over at The Cutie Pies and the theme this time is Halloween.
There is a $10 prize on offer by our sponsor:
Halloween is not really a time that I celebrate, being a grumpy old so and so. I don't let Emily go trick and treating (not that she could anyway seeing as how we live in splendid isolation) as I'm not really that keen on trick and treating - it's just not me. I'm not entirely sure either where this fuss over Halloween has come from anyway, I don't remember any trick and treating or big thing made of Halloween when I was little.
But, and here is a big but!, some of the images out there are just tooo sweet to pass up and I'm sure I can get other occasions out of them - so I've had a leetle splurge. A really leeeetle one, but still a splurge.
This card has the result of one of my splurges on it!
So my card.

Detail of image:
Still no arty-farty as I'm still fighting those kittens every time I get my lightbox out!!

I used:
Digi stamp:
Tiddly Inks - Witchy Wryn
coloured with my Pro and Flexmarkers
Dies:
None!!
Papers:
Echo Park - Chillingsworth Manor
Anything else?
Chipboard letters - very, very, very old from my stuff
Ribbon from a local craft shop
bat shape - freebie die from Tracy at Dies to Die For
D'you know, for once, I quite like this card! Was very pleased with my colouring - first time I've tried a lot of black! The only bobo I made is that the image is supposed to have a little cat next to her. Hmmm, well when cutting out the little cat became a Manx cat (due to a cutting accident!) and so she is now hiding out of sight altogether!!!
See you soon,
Sarah

And I think you're right about halloween... though my OH loves to put skeletons out front to scare the neighbours kiddies.... I think he gets the most enjoyment out of it as they don't seem that worried! LOL

Ooh I've been better behaved than you - I haven't bought any halloween cuties... although I have been very tempted! I don't really 'do' halloween either, although we do take the boys trick or treating, only on a couple of local streets though.
I do love this image, she's very cute! Love her green hair and the little frog in her hat! Great papers too. Thanks for joining in at Without Words hun :o) Hugs, Lisa x
