A cute Little Witch and her Cat card (Conie Fong image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm back! Sorry I keep neglecting my blog for a month or so at a time but I've been a bit busy lately - I've been to Italy on holidays, started a new interior decorating course and... I've been setting up an Instagram account for my cards so it's nice and easy to see all my cards in one place now rather than scrolling through my blog! I love it and I hope you will too, if you want to follow me on Instagram please, please do! Click HERE to be taken to my gallery. You don't need to have an account to see my gallery (I don't think, I'm still new to Instagram myself hehe). I've added over 100 cards already, I'm going through all my photos and just choosing my favourite cards over the past 8 years, I'm only up to 2014! 

Ok, so now onto my card for today and I coloured up this little cutie from Conie Fong for my 2 darling little nieces that are going to "spook" everyone in their neighbourhood in a couple of days' time hehe. I used my distress oxide inks to create the background and I coloured her with my copics and fussy cut her out.

Never Judge a Witch by her Hat (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This Halloween witch has to be one of my favourite Halloween images, she's just gorgeous isn't she? You can find her at The Paper Shelter. I've used her before (a long time ago, I think my colouring has improved a little since then) so I've added it below. For this card I used my oxide inks to create the background using the Twisted Citron for the "glowing" areas. I mucked up some of the "bubbles" because I used a stencil when I should have done them freehand like the ones on the right side but this is how we learn isn't it hehe.
