Halloween card- well it would be rude not to......

I didn't take much in the way of craft stash on our holiday last week, but I did manage to sneak in a few stamped images and a box of Promarkers..... then did the "oops, how did they get there" face! There wasn't time for a lot of colouring but I managed to fit in an hour, and knowing that all the Halloween challenges would be about I coloured this smashing Sweet Pea image.


Then today I spent some time making it into this card.


The background is stamped with a fab spotty stamp I've had forever, and it's sooooo useful. The papers were originally cream and black, but I swooshed on a dab of Dusty Concord Distress ink. The quote is from my favourite Shakespeare play, The Tempest- " we are such stuff as dreams are made on".

I chose the purple card to fit in with the Tuesday Taggers' Deep Purple theme- especially as they're sponsored by The Craft Barn this week!

Did I mention that it's an easel card? Here's the side view.



Now bear with me, cos I'm entering this into a few challenges.......

Tuesday Taggers- Halloween with Deep Purple
Sweet Pea Stampers- Easel card
In a Sweet Pea Dream- Things with wings
Penny's Challenges- Black, purple and orange
Wild flower patch- Anything Halloween
Totally Gorjuss- Spooky
