Happy Halloween

Good morning are you all ready for Halloween. 

I have my sweets bought and love watching the little ones come round although the lads are getting a little big round here so wondering what we will get.

I thought i would share this card I sent to Betty Roberts when she moved into here house. She  gave us a image to colour and as her fave time of the Year is halloween and anyone that know Betty from Simply B Stamps will know how much she love it.

So hope you like and if you would like to purchase the image you can find it HERE

I coloured the image Arachnia-Ana- with promarkers and fussy cut out. 

sentiment came with image

Embossed the black card with fiskers spiders web and the went over with some gliding wax.

Added some cheesecloth and a hand drawn spider which was done on shrink plasic

Matted and layers the card.

I didnt think it needed to be too fussy as i just love the image.

Well hope you like.

This is now living in California with lots of other halloween cards.

Have a great day and evening

Are you trick or treating.

June Fairy

Good afternoon I managed to get some crafting done . I have been struggling with the heat as my room i craft in gets so hot.

Well today I have this fairy card using a image from Simple Betty which she drew for the facebook challenge. I am not sure if it is in her shop yet but i am sure it will soon.

I have used some hoy colours of Red and Yellow and set it off with the Black to make them stand out.

Used Olive Green Pearlized card as my base mat and olive green pearls.

The DP is from a old basic grey pad.

Image coloured with promarkers and every thing else is TONIC

Tonic products used are

Beautiful Wishes, Scallop Circle, Pinhole circle dies (added some faux stitching to this)

Petral punch and glitter

The sentiment came with the image but I used the outer frame on the Beautiful wishes die to create a Leaf effect shape

Well hope you like I enjoyed playing with my dies and colouring this beauty up.

Thanks for popping by .

Well did you have a good Black Friday get any bargins? 

I got a Active fryer not that i wanted one but got talked into it by Son.

Well that leads me onto my DT card for Crafty Catz as it is Friday.

This weeks challenge is

MASCULINE

so dig out those stamps and time to make something for the boys.

Our sponsor this week is FRED SHE SAID

Well i went with another Christmas card with a fab digital image from Simple B Stamps called Millers Raindeer Pal

Image has been coloured this time with my promarkers. Lots of glitter but omg talk about being camera shy. Dies are whimsey and marianne.I have embossed the white panel and one of the trees with a cuttlebug folder and then lightly shaded with distressed inks.

DP is from another very old pad. i have refused to buy any this year as i have loads that need using up. It is a shame to leave them sat there. I think everything on this card must be at least 1 year old

Well thats another for my list to be ticked off.

Have you finished your cards yet i still have loads to do and think i will end up buying a few again.

Well if you have still some male cards to do then why not link them up to our challenge we would love to see them. never know you might even win a prize.
