Ghosties and Ghoulies and long legged beasties!

...is the title for this weeks challenge over on Tag you're it this week - well, with it being Hallowe'en what else could it be??

Here's my take:-

The background for the tag is chalked and the witch is a penny black stamp which has been hi-lighted with an orange wash - the bats and moon and pumpkins are all brads, larger pumpkin from an atc book.

Pop over to the tag you're it blog to see the other dt tags, they are totally gorgeous and join us in some fun creating your own tag....

Have a lovely Hallowe'en and for those witches out there don't create too much havoc! lol

Embossed ATC's....

These ATC's have been made for a swap with a dear crafting buddy

The backgrounds have all been painted with the ranger daubers, just loving those colours at the moment, the embossing down the side was done with a cuttlebug embossing file and then hi lighted with the gold dauber (loving that product at the mo) gems finished them off...hope my swap partner likes them xx

"Make your own....."

...is the challenge for the final leg of the Sassy Crafts design team selection - the brief is to Make your own ...... make anything you like on any theme with any colour scheme but all the embellishments must be your own work......

So,

Here's my offering:-
I cut the base shape out of white textured card, this was then painted with a Stream dauber and hi-lights added with the citrus dauber, the edges where stippled in gold. The gold edges down the middle are a cuttlebug embossing folder - which was then hi-lighted with the gold dauber, spots of crystal stickles finish off the centres. The ladies face is a stamp which has been watercoloured, I then doodled on her face...all highlighted with white pen. I made the beaded pins from coloured beads and a stick pin, the butterflies have been made using fantasy film, the trails are turquoise stickles. For the flowers I took a book page and coloured it using chalk inks, daubers and glimmer mists, to give it a bit of stability I stuck it down onto white paper, I then traced around a flower in two different sizes and cut them out, these were then teased and folded into shape the centres are bronze and crystal stickles.

Fingers crossed now.....I'll keep you posted.
