Time for a little spell!

Our theme this fortnight at Try it on Tuesday is Halloween and of course I need 2 cards so, here's my second.  I've used Willow the Witch from Lavinia on a Gelli plate background, I'm not sure whether it looks like a moon or the entrance to some mysterious time portal?  I've used the Witching hour verse embossed in white, which is clear on the card, but looks a bit blurred in the photo.  

We went 'pumpkin picking' on Saturday afternoon, good job mammy was in charge of the trolley or we would have ended up with about 20 pumpkins!  The twins have a pumpkin competition at school, so they've come up with some wondrous ideas for their pumpkins, at times I'm glad I don't live too close, although apparently I have to help with the eyes as "Grandma is crafty" .

Mid month Autumn at WLS

It's mid month reminder time at We Love Stamping, where our theme this time around is Shades of Autumn.

I started with an inky background and used the smallest in a set of stamps from Stampendous called Jumbo Rosehip,  adding a little colour to the small flowers, which are all almost covered by the larger image.  The large floral image was stamped with Vintage Sepia ink and coloured with Wild honey, Forest moss and Seedless preserve DI.  I added shading around the image with Wild honey Di.

The rest of the Design Team have some lovely samples to share, so please pop over to the main page for all the challenge details.

Halloween Time at Try it on Tuesday.

It's time for a new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnight it's Halloween.

I started by stamping the moon, which is from Rare Earth, then made a mask to cover it before colouring the sky with Distress inks. The tree was a freebie from a craft magazine,  the pumpkins and hat, which were fussy cut and coloured, are Lavinia.  I also added gold glitter to the folds of the hat.

The rest of the Design Team have some wonderfully spooky inspiration for you, so please pop over to TioTs, where you will find all the challenge details.
