~~~~~~~

ONLY 10 days to go... !!

Leigh mentioned she had another Halloween Treat Challenge to play for...
she asked for a witchy post so today I have some witchy makes...

I have been making various Halloween cards to exchange with friends - these are two:


I started with an orange-y red alcohol ink background and used Tim Holtz alcohol ink lift pad with a Stampin' Up witch to make the positive and negative images.



For my first card I used the type of card blank that can be used for a photograph. I added tea dye distress ink around the aperture and placed the image behind it. I then added the Tonic 'Best Witches' die cut from orange card.


I used Tonic ATC dies to cut various shapes for this card, combining yellow and green card for the two elements. 'Best Witches' was cut from the alcohol background.




I also have a witch ATC:


This has a maroon base, a scrap of DP from my table, a 'moon' cut from marbled background with a  stitched die and then a die cut witch from brown card (unbranded die). I then added the tiny witches hat (an earring!)

Oh, fruit loved of boyhood! the old days recalling, 
When wood-grapes were purpling and brown nuts were falling! 
When wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin, 
Glaring out through the dark with a candle within! 





Happy Hopping!

  2. The witch ATC is great - her
    flying over the moon and
    the turbulent blue sky.
    Using the card with the photo
    display area was a great idea
    for that card. thanks for

  5. Great makes, Susan. I love the 'Best Witches' die. Great sentiment all by itself! The witch on the broom is pretty cool as well. Love your orange-y marbled paper.
