I hope you are well and having a good week.

The sponsor for this challenge is Whiff of Joy who will be giving a gorgeous stamp to the lucky winner.

For my card I have used the same image twice and two different papers.

This is the card I made for my beautiful youngest daughter (it was her birthday in August). She loves music and is currently learning to play the guitar thus my choice of stamp.

I covered the stamped images with a Wink of Stella glitter pen which you cannot see on my photos, it looks so much prettier in real life.

Sorry there are so many photos of this one, it was quite tricky to get a decent picture.

Anything Goes at the Papertake Weekly Challenge

Hello again everyone, I hope your day is going okay

As promised, I'm back with my second post of the day.

(to see my Passion for Promarkers card please scroll down to the previous post)

Today is the start of a new Papertake Weekly Challenge, which I am still really enjoying being a Guest Designer for.

This week the theme is

Anything Goes

with the option to make a Halloween Treat Holder

Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Lili of The Valley

Prize is a £10 voucher 

Now, I must confess, I know it may sound strange, but I am not really too keen on Halloween. I think it may go back to being scared as a child. So Halloween designs are definitely not my strong point.

Anyway, I had a go at making a basic treat holder. I used a free image from Birdie Brown that you can find here and layered up the cute pumpkins. I was surprised to see that the black lace I had lurking in the bottom of my ribbon box has a spider like pattern on it, how lucky!

Items Used: 

Digi Stamp - Freebie from Bridie Brown coloured with Promarkers

Paper - Doodlebug designs 

Lace from stash

If you pop along to the  Papertake Weekly Challenge blog you will be able to see the amazing creations made by the design team.

I would like to enter my treat holder into the following fabulous challenges:

Created with Love - Halloween

Corrosive Challenge - Cute and Creepy!

Craft-Dee BowZ - Anything Goes with a handmade bow

I'll be back later with my final DT card of the day.
