Halloween Fun!


Evening everyone! How's everyone's week going? Good I hope! All is well this end, had a lovely day actually, spent the morning in the hairdressers, am all re-coloured and feeling better! I decided I had better crack on with some Halloween makes... so this is the first, there'll be some treat boxes to come too soon:)

When I got the dt position with Elaine at Quixotic Paperie she sent some assorted goodies and for my paper selection she sent me the ATD Premium Trick and Treats Halloween papers and I've been dying to use them! Now, I am a bit of a Halloween collector in terms of papers and stamps and general loveliness so have seen and had my fair share of Hallowen papers but believe me these surpass them all! They're all foiled and just generally gorgeous! I would totally recommend getting some, then see if you can bear to cut into them! hehehe. So, as you've gathered all the papers used on my Halloween card are the ATD ones. Whilst having a little spree at Quixotic over the weekend I just couldn't resist this CC Designs Ollie and Griselda stamp set, and when they arrived was proper impressed with the size of the stamps, and there's loads in there too! I just had to use the witch's boots first with the matching sentiment, and stamped the boots out twice so I could pop them up with some silicone glue.

I've not used a sketch or anything for my layout on this card, seem to be having a bit of problem sticking to them on the last few cards! But, I am going to enter this over at Creative Inspirations where the theme is Autumn/Fall since Halloween fits in with the season as well as the Creative Belli Challenge (totally new to me-love finding new challenge blogs!) who want to see Fall or Halloween makes. Am also entering this card over at Paper Blooms (another new challenge to me!) who want to see bling.

Stuff: Witch's boots stamp and sentiment from CC Designs Ollie and Griselda set from here, ATD Foiled and Glittered Halloween papers from here, pumpkin charm from here, silver cord from here, core'dinations black magic cardstock, copic ciao and sketch to colour, distress inks in milled lavendar and dusty concord, button from stash, bling from here, distressing tool.

Thanks so much for popping by today and any comments you might leave me-they make my day! Sleep tight xxx

  11. Ooh this is just amazing Rowena! Love the image, love the papers, the charm it all works so well! But what do you do with Halloween cards? Do you send them to all your friends, or do you keep them 'cause you enjoyed making 'em? It really is fab though, I'm loving those shoes they make me smile :))

  23. Rowena, everytime I see your cards, I am in awe because they are truly works of ART! You have such talent that I'd long decided to work my way up to your top standards of paper crafts. I like my easy-breezy but every now and then, I need to POW 'em! like you do. :D Thank you for the love on my blog and recommending Copics. I'm just going to sneak away when hubby goes back to work tomorrow and get a set at the store and sign up for a class. Watching your art has given me insight into so many nooks and cranies of paper crafts; the little details you add to your stuff is just delightful - superb to the utmost. I LOVE those witches boots - very classy sentiment because it IS always all about the shoes! :D
