All Hallows Eve

Happy Halloween everyone.

This is the last of my projects for Halloween. Thank goodness for that I can hear you saying.

Morwena is dressed to impress and ready to go to the witches ball.

The frame [Tando Creative] was painted back and then rubbed over with gold and pewter wax.

The images are from a craft CD called the Twilight Queen by Debbie Moore.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all have a lovely spooky day.

Monochromatic Purple.

Now when Fiona over at Craftycardmakers set our new Challenge,  'Monochromatic Purple',  I had to put my favorite shades aside and get thinking.
I chose to go look through my card and paper stash and found this selection that fitted the theme.
A flowered base  layer, followed by a plain white layer, the edges were shaded with Dusty Concorde distress ink. I tied a purple ribbon round the next layer and added the sentiment..
Hey presto, one of the quickest cards I've made in ages, but as the light for taking photos is so bad  at the moment, I won't mention the words that were used  and time it took to get a decent picture
Please pop over and see what we all made  and see the prizes on offer from our sponsors  Di's Digi Stamps
and Hobby Art.

Do you believe in Magic

Another small book to share with you today.

it was about 4 x 4 inches in size.

Made using Graphics 45 papers from the Steampunk Spells stack.

 All the pages have pockets to hold the extras I added 

Think you can see what I mean from the previous two photos.

  Any extra shading was Vintage Photo and Weathered Wood  Distress ink.

I will be joining the fun at these Halloween challenges-

'Make a Card',  is the new theme  over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.  As always we have our regular sponsor Flonz with a super prize for our winner. Please pop over for all the details and see what my D.T. sisters have been making.
I began with a Kraft card base using an Embossilicious folder with a flower pattern, then decided to use the reverse side, shading the whole area with the trusty Vintage Photo Distress ink.
 A dotty embossed layer came next, shaded in the same way.
The image is a Crafty Individuals stamp, this was water coloured.
Trimmings as always come from my stash.

We are also welcoming Anne Marie of My Eclectic Spirit as our Guest Designer this week
I used a Kraft card base and a couple of layers of printed paper, all toned down with Vintage Photo distress ink. I then added a doily behind the main image. This is a Crafty Individuals stamp, which I water coloured and reached out for more Vintage photo for shading.The trimmings all came from my stash.

Crafty play time.

Had a nice play this morning with some bits and pieces lying around my craft  drawers, needless to say that the intentions to tidy them just flew out the window.
I edged a page in my journal with a bit of random  stamping and  shaded with..........a light shading of Pickled Raspberry, now you can relax, also my beloved Vintage Photo distress ink.
I kept to these two colours throughout.

I machine stitched a home altered  paper and material layer together, before sticking out onto the page. The material flower was cut using the Tattered Florals , Alterations die, probably more than a year ago. We never like waste do we.
I glued some distress glitter to the fronds die cuts, you will guess the shade V.P.
More scraps of materials glued down, a metal pocket watch charm.
I stopped here as I need to remember that I have to be able to close my book.
