We are sponsored this week by

Pickled Potpourri and DRS Designs

so there is lots of inspiration on the challenge blog using both our sponsors products kindly given to the team

So onto my card which i have gone with Black and white

I have used my promarkers to shade the images slightly and hope you can see this.

this project with this image came in very handy as i had a emergency appointment at the eye hospital for an injection so was limited to what i was able to colour.

I do hope that you like and it is such a great image for those quick projects.

the image is  Happy Haunting  from Pickled Potpourri

used some spotted & black card

White vellum for the ghost in the top left hand corner which is a punch
