Witching You A Happy Halloween

Hello there my crafty friends!   I started with a piece of white card.  I sponged Blueprint Distress Oxide at the top of the card, then added Seedless Preserves ink and followed it with Crackling Campfire ink and finished with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink.  I blended the colours into each other then added a handful of water clapped across the page, then sopped up with a piece of kitchen roll.  I cut a piece of black card in a hilly fashion for the bottom of the card.  I added some gravestones and pumpkin silhouettes and the Spooky Tree die with a raven on the branch.  I cut a round circle in black and added it to the sky with a partial tree across it.  I cut the Trick Or Treater die and used the witch and her broom and coloured her with markers.  I added the Witching You A Happy Halloween sentiment in both white and black, shadowed it and glued it to the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8 1/2"  in size.

The winner of the July bog launch will be announced tomorrow morning, don't forget to check back here then!  All for now, Sue x

    To everyone sending best wishes for the past week - you really are special people, you have a very caring group here Sue, crafters stand alone when it comes to caring.
    I've loved your Halloween dies Sue, it makes me wish we enjoyed this celebration here in the UK just so I can have your cute, yes cute scary Halloween spooks etc, you made me smile with that launch and although my love of card making has dried up I need some of your new July release as a just in case, I'm sure everyone can see sense in that idea lol.
    Again it's been a hard week and recovery is still on going, but I have 2 places to go that's my happy place full of special very special people, one is here, my other place of love is from a member that pops up every so often that I met here. Love you all. Love who you are xxx

  8. Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I do appreciate that this is going to be a very popular collection, and the dies are amazing as are the samples, I doubt that I would need to use the dies, although you never know in the future I might be called upon to do so.

    Steph, how wonderful to hear from you on here, I do hope you are on the mend, big hugs xx

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  14. Good morning Sue,
    Wow what a beautiful spectacular card with your background through to your wonderful dies. Your Witch is really cute & unlike any other witches I have seen which is ideal for young children so they don't get frightened. Yvonne xx

  15. For some reason the Raven seems to stand out, even though it's in the same card stock as the other background. I see that Creative Expressions are showcasing Halloween tomorrow on Hobbymaker, another chance to see the collection in action. WakeyL

  22. Hi Sue. Such a cute card today. Love the expressions on the faces of the pumpkins and the witch reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch when I was little called Winsome Witch, I wonder if anyone else remembers it

  27. Hi Sue, sorry I missed leaving a comment yesterday. I love this fun spooky card, the background sky is amazing and I am sure your witch is a good white witch and not a nasty black witch as she is happy and smiling.
