Challenges.

I saw this challenge on the Polka Doodles blog and decided to give it a go, this is the first challenge that me and my little fledgeling blog have taken part in - nothing ventured, nothing gained - so here goes! The challenge is "Something Spooky" so I made a halloween card, something I have never done before. I had a little input from my grandson Will, (who already has his vampire costume for halloween) he definitely wanted a vampire and blood on the card.
I used Vincent Price's words from Michael Jackson's Thriller and designed my card around them. The 'creatures' on the front of the card are floating on little Z's of acetate, although this isn't so obvious in the photo, and of course I made a matching insert.
Just discovered my card is also suitable for the C.R.A.F.T. challenge so will enter it there too.


I took a photo from the side to try and show the floating effect.



Finally the insert, with all the little creatures peeking through the tear in the paper.


Supplies used :-

BG papers and cobweb – Happy Halloween Kit – Verena Ka
Border Digi Stamp – Delicious Doodles 
Vampire, Mummy, Spooky House, Bat – Sundae of Seasons CD – Polka Doodles
Ghost, Frankenstein – Halloween Doodles Download – Polka Doodles

In the immortal words of Craig Revel Horwood: Fab-u-lous!!! It almost makes me wish I was going Trick or Treating. Love the detail and the photographs show it all perfectly. Well Done!
