Happy Halloween

I am so behind with everything and need to do some "C" cards desperately so I am afraid I have not been able to do anything for Halloween which is a shame as I love seeing what others have done.

On Friday I saw "my little sweetheart", with her mummy, a long term special friend of mine.  We just went down to Asda in the afternoon and as we were walking around we heard that there was a "party" going on in the restaurant.  Well, the little one did!  We were going to have a cuppa anyway but didn't realise just how long we were going to spend there.

The party involved some "face painting" and the girl who did it was really good.  We put "little 'uns" name down and after a wait of an hour this is what came out


Here she is in my kitchen with her black cat (thankfully not a real one), her spiders webs, bats and the little spider down her cheek.


The girl made a good job didn't she?

I say I have not done anything but that is not strictly true as I did make an ATC to go with Pat's "Pink" card so here it is as this is the appropriate day to show it


I just used my two favourite Distress Inks to cover the cardstock and then stamped this little image on the front.  Not much to it - but wait, it is double.  When you open it up this is what you see


My one and only Stampotique image which my friend Lorraine got for me just after Harrogate show.  I drew the witches hat and punched the three cats out of black paper.  Then I did the shaky writing with a black pen and that was it.  I did try to keep the face free from ink.

Happy Halloween everyone - spooky hugs to you all.
