Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Wow it's been so busy at home tonight my other half had to go out for more supplies!

Now you will have to bear with me as I have lots of pictures to show you of some Halloween cards that I have made; so in at number one is:

Bat Cat!  How magnificent is this image from Mo Manning - I just love it!  The only problem I have is I can't get the old Batman theme tune out of my head, (remember it - dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner dinner, dinner, dinner), but instead of signing "BAT MAN" I'm signing "BAT CAT" ;o) rolf!

Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 102 - Bingo

Hello Everyone

This is a scheduled post as I am away at the NEC working - so if you are seeing it then great Mr Blogger is working.

Onto this week's challenge at Totally Gorjuss which is BINGO.  I love this kind of challenge; below is a table and all you have to do is choose 3 items but they have to be in a line either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, or if you want too add something extra you can go for all four corners - simple eh!

Incorporate these 3 items onto your card then get yourself entered onto the challenge blog to be in with a chance to win a voucher from our fab sponsor who this week is Simon Says Stamp.  Make sure you check out what all the wonderful DT girlies have created - just fantastic as always.

Lace	Ribbons	Bows
Stars	Buttons	Pearls
Flowers	Swirls	Bling

I went for the bottom row and chose "Flowers, Swirls & Bling" and here is what I created:

Aw, they are just soo in love and check out Jack's snazzy red belt - you go guy!

The recipe for the card is as follows:

Stamp:  Mo Manning "Jack & Ginger"

Digital Papers:  Scrapbook Graphics "Obsessions"

Swirl:  Magnolia Doohickey "Leaf & Swirl" Die from Dies to Die For

Gems, Rhinestones & Spacer:  The Hobby House

The image has been coloured with Copics:

Skin:  E11 E00 E000

Hair:  C2 C1 C0

Everything Else:  C9 C8 C7 C6 C5 C4 C3 C2 C1 Reds:  R29 R27 R24

Grass:  YG67 YG63

I have edged everything in Black Soot Distress Ink.

For the flower:

I have created this with large and medium Retro Flower Punches which you can get from The Hobby House.  Punch four large and three medium flowers, then cut randomly across the top of the petals and put a rhinestone brad through the centre to hold them altogether. Feather them out with your fingers or tweezers until you are happy with it and dah dah - your own home made flower.  Easy peasy.

Right, I rambled on far too much and I hope I haven't bored you all silly!

Have a great weekend.

Ciao!
