Challenge #447 - Halloween - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well here we are almost at the end of October and its

Halloween

and I have to say that my great grandsons love this time of the year, they dress up and go out to collect sweets from neighbours and friends, whether they will be able to do that this year I dont know but Im sure they will definitely dress up as they love doing this all the time, not necessarily in Halloween Clothes.
I think its time for me to get on and to remind you that you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from for this theme to. Our Sponsors are and as always are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website. 
 

But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.
For this weeks card I have used this Card
 

 
this image is titled Not a Scary Scarecrow and you will find him here, I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a fancy rectangle die to cut her out and a larger one with orange card for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash than I have stamped also onto white card and cut it out with a square die and cut a larger one out of orange card to mount it on.
 
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and I used another piece of the same orange card as the first mount, I have used the backing papers that come with my image and you will find them here. I placed the mounted image in the center towards the top with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

Now that you've seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this  "Halloween" Challenge to.
