Trick or Treat

I don't really do Halloween cards, but I have made Ellie a bag for our Halloween trick or treat treasure hunt (Beth's is in the pipeline!!)
I used a few challenges to help me along the way ...
Simon Says Stamp - halloween
Allsorts - halloween
Colour Create - red, yellow, black, white, and the optional flowers (sorry no checks!)
Cute Card Thursday - Charms
Sketch Saturday - sketch rotated

So here's the bag ...

and a close up of the front ...
I made the backing paper using my Tim Holtz mask and weathered wood and black soot distress inks. Its been a while since I did any masking and I really like this fence. I would have liked Wilma standing behind it, but my printer doesn't like the card I use for my bases and the paper I use for digi images is not very distres ink friendly - so Wilma is floating slightly LOL!! I stamped the swirls at the top using versafine and ran the cardstock through the cobwebs CB folder. I distressed them in weathered wood and black soot. I added the ribbon, fab hat charm (from Bunny-Zoe's shop) and flowers. Finally I added a bit of stickles to the stars on the hat.

I'll be back later with some pics of the girls - we had a day out yesterday and hopefully another card- off to craft!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Wilma Witch; swirl stamp from Katzel Kraft
Colouring Media: Promarkers
Papers: cardstock and coredinations
Embellishments: ribbon, charm, punched flowers and brads from stash
