Ooooh how spooky - not!

Good morning blogland,

This post is all about my DT card for this month's new release from All Dressed Up - I am posting it a little late (but then when isn't that a recurring theme with me?!) as always life happens and I've only just found time to do this post.

So - the new release, and how adorable is this little witch!  As you probably know I don't properly 'do' Halloween, no big ethical reason why not, it just wasn't a thing when I was younger and now, living as we do in the middle of nowhere, we don't get Trick or Treaters.  The most we've ever done is carve a pumpkin and take TTT, when younger, to the nearest village so she could knock on a few doors.  Although I don't do cards or decorations or spooky film marathons - I can still appreciate a cute image to colour and this is just what that is!

So here you go, the October New Release from All Dressed Up - the digi I got to work with is called Magic Broomstick and is available from the Etsy shop.

Here's the card:

Supplies used:

Digi stamps:

All Dressed Up - Magic Broomstick

coloured with Copics

SVG printing / cutting file from an Etsy seller - for the sentiment

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangles

Sunny Studios - stitched circles small

Stencils:

Honey Doo Stencils Collection 

Home-made cloud stencil

Anything else:

flat backed gems

striped card

Distress Inks

blending brush

The Honey Doo stencil is difficult to describe, it's a stencil with lots of holes cut out but they also provide you with the cut outs.  Here's the link, which is probably more use than my mad ramblings! It's useful as you can use either the stencil itself or the solid cut outs to make negatives.  I used one of the cut-outs to create the moon up in the left hand corner.

To have a look at the rest of this month's releases - you can go here to the FaceBook Group: here to the Blog or. to purchase, go here to the Etsy shop.

And that's me done folks,

until the next time,

Sarah

Not squared!

Good morning blogland

A new challenge has come around for Team 1 at Passion for Markers, and the wonderful Lisa has picked this week's theme which is 'Anything but square'.

Our sponsor this time is Lili of the Valley, who have given us a wonderful prize for one lucky - drawn at random - winner.  So all there is now is to get your markers out, follow the theme to create something wonderful and enter it into the challenge!  Even if you don't get picked as this week's lucky winner, you are still in with a shout of having Lisa pick your card as a Top 5!

As Lili of the Valley are our sponsors this week they very kindly allowed the DT to pick a digi to use on their cards and this my card made with my pick:

And that's it folks.

Hope you find the time to go over and take a punt on entering the challenge - you could be the lucky one and you get to see the fabulous cards my Teamies have made.  Also maybe, one day, when I have more time, I might even take my own advice and get back into entering blog challenges!  You never know!

Until then, laters,

Sarah
