Good morning I hope you are keeping safe and well.  Can you believe it is October already.  My autumn and Halloween decorations are up so I'm pretty much prepared for spooky season.

I'm on day four of the Spellbinders 13 days of Craftoween and this card is my DT card for our monthly challenge over at Crafty Calendar.

The theme this month is Halloween.


For my card I have used

  • The background is the Spellbinders Spider Web Background betterpress plate.  Pressed with betterpress black ink onto Spellbinders Dahlia cardstock and then ink blended the edges with Picked Raspberry and Black Soot Distress inks.
