Witching Hour


Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend. Just a short post from me today to show you my only Hallowe'en card so far. I don't really "do" Hallowe'en and I'm well behind with my Chrimbo cards so I really should be getting on with those; but I just had to try to bodge together a card from my (very) limited supplies for all the spooky challenges there are out there!


Definitely not one of my best; but the best I could do with what I had available.

Stamps: Debbi Moore;
Paper: The Robin's Nest;
Supplies: computer-generated sentiment; ribbon, lace and gems from my stash;
Tools: Marianne D lantern die.

Challenges:
Craft Your Passion #132 - Which Witch Is Which?
Sparkles #37 - Hallowe'en
Dream Valley #43 - Hallowe'en
Sentimental Sundays #125 - Hallowe'en
Really Reasonable Ribbon #58 - Hallowe'en With Ribbon
Simon Says - Eerie Inspiration
Heck Of A Challenge - Spooktacular!
Crafty Calendar - All Things Spooky!

Off now to try to  get a bit of Chrimbo colouring done before the light completely fades!
