Outlawz Twisted Challenge - Colour Scheme - October

   

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes
Songs and Rhymes
Colour
Greetings
Sketch

This month it is Colour Scheme  where your make should be inspired by this colour scheme, chosen by Jane:



This is my card: it includes the flavour of the colour scheme, but also the colour second along the bottom row is called River Bend.


I used a kraft card blank matted with green then an image cut from a commercial card (Camden Signature) and distressed around the edge with scorched timber.
I then added the embellishmnets.


Happy Crafting!

31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 1

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog.

 This is my 13th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH! 

That must be an auspicious number!!

I am joining in with the 2026 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween



As I am in Australia I never know what time to post my Day 1, so this is sort of an introductory post...

In the past I have made Halloween decorations, junk journals, cards, ATCs - all can be seen if you scroll through here. This was one of my decorations from last year:


This year look forward to a lot of black and orange, pumpkins, mushrooms, witches and ghouls...in this post I am sharing a Halloween card as I have a swap of such cards to take part in...


I used a kraft card base and layers of orange card and scorched timber distress along the edges.
I used a die from Tonic studios and a freebie from Conjurer of Dreams
I added a little orange raffia to the tag.


I will add this card to the Conjurer of Dreams free image challenge

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 


And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!!
