Abracadabra!


Hi everyone ... hope you are enjoying your weekend. October already ... where is the year going to?? ... And that means that it's nearly time for Hallowe'en!! I don't do much in the way of Hallowe'en cards but as there are so many themed challenges out there I thought I'd just have a go at one ... and here it is!
 
 
My mojo is still very shaky at the moment ... my dad is not at all well, which is a lot of worry on top of everything else that has already happened this year. Still I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out.
 
 
Stamps: LotV "Abracadabra"; Whimsy Friendship Ticket;
Media: Promarkers; imaged edged with TH "dusty concord" distress ink;
Papers: The Robin's Nest (Purple/black glitter), ?? (black);
Supplies: ribbon from my stash;
