Hi there, Emma here!

For my card I have used a mix of papers..... some from Nitwits, and some from an old CD from Carol Ann's Studio called Halloween, all have been distressed...

...This GORGEOUS image is called 'Marvin the Bat'. I love love love him!!!! He is so much fun to colour! I have used Promarkers and chalks to colour him...

...I made a halloween bunting....

...I made a cheeky spider from a green glittery pom-pom and added some wire for his legs!!!...

...I completely covered some chipboard letters with orange glitter.

Thanks for looking!

Hi there, Susan here...

My backing papers are from a Crafters Companion CD called Occasions, all edges have been inked and distressed. The little Autumn leaves have been made using a punch, I then inked them and used glossy accents.

Here is my version of 'Marvin the Bat', he is so cute, and such a dream to colour! I used Pro-Markers to colour him.

These cute realistic pumpkins are from the Crafters Companion CD Occasions. I printed them out and trimmed them.

These scary looking bats are also from the CD Occasions, I used glossy accents to make them come 'alive'.

Thank you for looking.

Love Susan xxx
