3 Little Witches (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am loving creating Halloween cards this year, especially since I've bought almost all the Tim Holtz oxide inks, creating backgrounds with them is so much fun! The fun little witches are from Saturated Canary. I also added some black Jessie flourishes from Flourish with a Bling - I cut them up so they just poked out the sides of the image, perfect for Halloween projects. They're on sale at half price at the moment along with everything in the store during October only, click HERE to go check out our store. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - spots and/or stripes or Halloween (stripes)
AllSorts - think pink

Aloha Fridays - kiddy cards
Country View - mixed media with autumnal hues

Paper Crafting Journey's new challenge - Use Halloween colours

It's time for a new challenge over at Paper Crafting Journey and this time we'd love to see you use Halloween colours. I love the idea of using Halloween colours rather than a Halloween challenge as it means it doesn't have to be card for Halloween. Having said that, my card is definitely Halloweeny lol!! I have used one of the sponsor's images (Just Some Lines), this little witch isn't very scary but she's definitely cute! I doodled the border and corner cobweb, had to practice on scrap paper first as my doodles don't always work out how I think they will hehe.

I have used a gorgeous flourish (called Jessie flourish) and black leaves (from our Jack vine) at Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If you're order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders). If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

Red, White and Blue girly card

Good morning, here is another card I created yesterday. The image is from Make it Crafty, she's so much fun to colour but is very difficult for my amateur abilities at the same time so please don't look too carefully haha.

Bugaboo Gus/Dad card

I know I have recently used this gorgeous Bugaboo's Gus image and sentiment but I thought it also suited my Dad so have created a different card but with the same digi. I find it so difficult to make male cards. At least I'll hopefully have a little stash of them after these last couple of weeks with most challenge blogs asking for male inspired cards!

The black flourish is from Flourish with a Bling and most of the papers used here are from Echo Park.
