Itty Bitty Betty Boo

I know I said probably no more Halloween cards but I thought I'd squeeze this one in and make it for 10 challenges! I'm in full on lights are on but no-one's home mode today and thought I should be posting one of my DT cards, but that's tomorrow and I had nothing to post today - eeek! So I browsed some challenges and came up with this card:



The challenges are:
  1. Mojo Monday - Fab sketch
  2. Copic Creations - Black
  3. ABC - Flying
  4. Cute Card Thursday - Spookfest
  5. Colour Create - Black, white, red and yellow
  6. C.R.A.F.T - 3 papers, 2 buttons, 1 ribbon
  7. Stampin' B's - Halloween
  8. One Stop Crafts - Halloween (I won last week's challenge - yey!)
  9. Pile it On - Ready for Halloween
  10. Creative Friday - Halloween


My three patterned black papers are all from Pink Petticoat's Spooky Doodlies CD if you can't see it, the third paper is plain stars hidden under the stitched ribbon. I got this fab Itty Bitty Betty digi stamp from the Pink Cat Studio and tried my best to do some grey / black Copic shading. Harder than it looks. The red star was cut out with a Nestie die and I cut the yellow one by hand and topped them with two buttons tied with some yellow thread.

I had to do this in less than an hour as I'd promised Hubby he could spend the day stripping wallpaper in the hallway whilst I play with the small boys. Yes, yes I know how to spoil him don't I? Tee hee.
