Thing that Go Bump in the Night


Time for another great card challenge over at Crafty Card Makers this week.  The theme of the challenge is "things that go bump in the night".

I used Stampendous' Raven Skull and Stampin Up's Happy Fright Night Halloween stamps for this card along with Distress Inks and Copics. 

I used a spider cutting die, ribbon and Halloween paper from my stash. 

Halloween cards are always fun to make. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.

 I am sad to let you know that this is the last post for Crafty Cardmakers. I have participate in the group for more than 5 years and have enjoyed the group immensely. 

 Lin after 9 years of running things at Crafty Cardmakers has made the decision to close the blog. She has had health issues for some time now and has come to the realisation that actually struggling on like this has been stifling any creativity she started out with. 

So this will be our last challenge. Lin will be back on 9th November with the winner and top 5 of this challenge but that will be our last post.


Thank you for all of our participants in the challenges. Keep on creating and stay safe.

I used Distress Inks sprays  and a rubber stamp by Stampenous called Raven Skull for the background.  I also used die cuts for the house, moon and witch. I coloured the moon and windows with sparkle pens by Sheena.
