Halloween at The Paper Shelter

Good morning, hope you are well and here's a big hug if you aren't! Today sees the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter.  The theme this week is Halloween and I have made a card:



This beauty is called Witching Hour and lives here. I coloured her with my Copics and she took an age to colour!  I added some Glossy Accents to the glass flask, brooch, her eyes and the snake's eyes. I used Go Kreate XL No 1 frames for the card shape and mat.  The sentiment is computer generated and cut out using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid and I coloured the purple ones with my Copics. The paper you can just see is Basic Grey Marjolaine.  I edged around the image with Weathered Wood DI and used a corner rounder punch on the corners.  I also added some black webbed ribbon and a plastic spider from Home Bargains.



As usual there is a fabulous prize for the lucky winner:


Challenges I would like to enter:

Dream Valley - Halloween
Melonheadz - Lots of Layers
Ppinkydolls - Anything Goes or Halloween
Squigglefly - Halloween or Fall
Red Carpet Studio - Haunted Mansion
QKR Stampede - The Witch is In
Stempelsonne Challenge - Autumn/Halloween

Thank you so much for calling and the lovely comments you leave - much appreciated.  My daughter and Rowan are coming round shortly so must dash!!

  18. Oooh Susan - I was looking at this gorgeous card then read the bit about the eight-legged beastie!!! Oh poop - even the plastic ones are 'orrible!!

    I do love the card though, the colouring is fantastic and the snake is wonderful! I think I'd have put a ladybird on there though instead of the beastie - lol!!!

    Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
