A Halloween candy monster (Dustin Pike image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My 2nd card today is a cute little monster that Dustin Pike gave as a freebie a while back, how generous. You can follow his blog by clicking his name above so you get all the freebies he gives out too. I love this little guy and I bought the WRMK woven embossing folder at a craft show on the weekend and couldn't resist trying it out straightaway, I love it! I used my Lawn Fawn square frame and hillside border dies to create the little scene and added some shiny stars to finish it off.

A little purple & pink witch and her broom (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I had some issues with challenge inlinkz this week so I'm hoping I don't have trouble today as I have so many cards to show you. I will post 3 now and then a few over the next few days. 

I've been having some fun with my new oxide inks again, I made this background paper with just 2 colours (I think wilted violet and worn lipstick) and some water (I add a little bit of Perfect Pearls to my water spray bottle so I get a nice shimmer, much cheaper than buying lots of coloured shimmer water sprays). After spraying it I scrunched the paper. I coloured the gorgeous girl from Saturated Canary with Copics, trying a new skin combo - E11, YR00 and YR000, I'm loving this skin tone.
