Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Waaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaa! Blimey I scared myself then!!

So here I am again as we have a new challenge at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards  with a very appropriate theme! Yes it's Halloween! So get a bit creepy and show us some spooktacular makes!  But do remember that we are a CARD ONLY challenge! We'll be round to haunt you if you get that wrong!! J

This time we are sponsored by the incredible Rick St Dennis

And there is a fab prize up for grabs for one lucky winner so check out the blog for details!

Rick very generously let the DT each pick an image for this challenge (thank you) and I went for the gorgeously mysterious and not too wicked Mystique! Love her fabulous hat!

Ok so I even shocked myself with my craziness this time! This is, in essence , the second in my ‘Dressing Table Series’ (I’m not really doing a series, it’s just the second one of these I've done but that sounds quite arty so I'm going with it! J ) I originally made a Vintage version here.

I have to say I’m not that keen on horror (you've seen my creations you may disagree!!) but I do love Halloween. Maybe because I associate it with family as we always get together for a little party that we have affectingly called ‘Spooky Food Night’! It was so named as the party food was all gross out stuff like sausages on sticks that looked like severed fingers and fruit gum snakes and spiders in the punch! Nowadays it’s just a takeaway with a lighted pumpkin on the table! I sort of miss those severed fingers {sigh}!

Ingredients:

Image: Mystique

Sentiment: Halloween Sentiment Set from Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Dies: Spellbinders ‘Labels 1’ & ‘Fleur De Lis Squares’

Silhouette Cuts: Spider, cauldron & cobweb

Stamps: Cat free with mag - perfume bottle by See-D Stamps

Paper/Card: Neenah Desert Storm – LOTV ‘Father Knows Best’ & ‘Antebellum’

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils – Walnut Stain DI

Hopeless Hand drawings: (Brace yourself, there’s a few!) Pumpkin on perfume bottle, skull and candle, spell book with spider, bubbles from cauldron, a couple of dodgy dangly spiders, ghost and skeletal hand!

So get your spook on and creep over to see what my fabulous teamies have done for this challenge and play along!

Thanks so much for looking and have a good day!

See ya!

Colourful hugs
