Happy Halloween

Hazel (6)_thumb

Evening all. We are just about to have a quick tea before we take the children out Trick or Treating. So while it finishes cooking I thought I would pop on and share my final Halloween make of the year.

This is the card I made for my partner in a card swap I take part in. The theme was either Halloween or Autumn and me being me I just had to pick Halloween. 

This card uses Sylvia Zet’s adorable Hazel image and she is also available in rubber from the Whimsy Stamps Store here:

  If you read my blog you will know that this year I really have been a little bit addicted to making Halloween Projects.

    Aurora Prayer

    Aurora Prayer (2)

    Evening All. Just a quick post before I head off to bed.

    The routine starts again tomorrow, after what has been a relaxed half term holiday’s full of migraines, icky bugs and things. At least we have Halloween tomorrow, we managed to get our Pumpkins carved!

    Anyhoo, It’s time for a new challenge at The Sketchy Challenges and this time it’s a sketch challenge designed by me:

    Lisa

    Lucky I had made this one a while ago as I’ve not done much (if any) crafting for the last week. I’ve used Aurora Prayer from The East Wind:

    Aurora Prayer (1)

    I have left this one without a sentiment at the moment, but I think it would make a good ‘Thinking of You’ card.

    Aurora Prayer (4)

    And I’ve had a play with those lovely Maja Design Papers again!

    Supplies:

    • Image: Aurora Prayer from The East Wind
    • Colouring Medium: Copics
    • DP: Maja Design 
    • Card: Lilac Card, White Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card 
    • Ink: Ranger ‘Weathered Wood’ Distress Inkpad
