Spooky! Black cat in silhouette Halloween card -  Day 304 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Happy Halloween! Today's card I have made another spooky one - this time using a Black Cat on a hand coloured background. How I made this card:- I first of all took an image of a cat in silhouette from the web on to my Brother Scan n Cut and used the image tracing function to bring it in to Canvas Work Space.  Once that was done, I resized it to one that I was happy with and cut it out of some black card (American Crafts I think as it has a slight texture to one side). I then masked off the centre part of an A6 white card (linen effect) with some purple masking tape, leaving roughly an inch on either side and coloured them with Orange and red Tim Holtz Distress inks. I also cut a circle using a plain die out of white card and coloured that in to match and glued it to the centre of the card (once I had taken away the tape of course!). I stamped the word "Spooky...

Love the Bones of you.... square card -  Day 294 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge (nearly day 300) is a very quick and simple fun card using dies from Paper Boutique. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the mat layer from the Love the Bones of You die set using black card. I then cut out the skull layer using white card and stuck it on top of the mat. Using the circle die within the set, I then cut out another mat in black card. I also cut out the sentiment and accompanying mat layer in orange and black and stuck them together using PVA glue. I attached the main mat and layer on to a 6" white pearlescent card using PVA glue. I then attached the black circle in the middle, this time using some thin foam pads. Finally, I added the sentiment on top of that, this time using PVA glue. A nd there you are  - a homemade/handmade card that was made using only a few products but is fun but stylish to send for Hall...

Boo! Happy Halloween Ghosts 5" square card -  Day 282 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is another Hallowe'en card (which you can buy on my website) made using some die-cuts and a background made using a stencil. How I made this card:- I placed the bubbles stencil/mask (from Skull and Cross Buns) over the front of a 5" white card, taping it down with purple tape and coloured through it using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Abandoned Coral and Shaded Lilac) blending them in to create darker pinks and blues to make a purple! I used the circle die from the Woven with Love die set from Paper Boutique (but any will do) and cut it out in black card (Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) and stuck it in the middle of the card using PVA glue. I then cut out 2 ghosts from a Halloween die collection from Sweet Dixie (one in orange and one in white card - this is from Create & Craft's Core collection) and glued them to the circle on op...
