Paper Play DT Card - Halloween

Hi Blogging Buddies,

It is Thursday and that means Paper Play Day! 
This week we have a Halloween inspired theme..."A Haunting we will go!" and we are sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts.

This is only my second Halloween card ever! I made one last year and one this year! 
I like this cute little witch girl digi image from Digi Stamp Boutique. 
I got some new Spica pens and one was shiny purple...so I couldn't resist...
I just had to give her purple hair! 
I added some Kindy Glitz as well to really make it sparkle. 
The sentiment is a Meljen Designs image (a freebie).


Copics I used were:
Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20
Purples: BV00, BV08, V15, V17, Lavender Spica pen
Blacks and Greys: 100, C-3, C-5, C-7
Oranges and Yellows: YR04, YR68, Y38, Sand Spica pen 

 White gel pen and Kindy Glitz

I would like to enter this card in a few challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Sparkly and Bright
OLLCB - Scary Stuff
Creative Inspirations - Halloween/Fall
Meljen Designs - Its a 2-fer
Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Purple, Orange and Black
Crafty Creations - Halloween or Autumn
Cowgirls - Halloween
Digi Stamp Boutique - October Challenge

Goodness there is a lot of Halloween challenges out there at the moment!

Link your Halloween card or project up at Paper Play
and you could be our winner or in our Top 3 for this week!


For those of you who are interested I survived Grade Five yesterday and Grade Two today!  My new affirmation is "I only attract lovely classes filled with well-behaved children and friendly staff".  I love affirmations...I think they are very powerful and this one seems to be working for me too.  Kindergarten again tomorrow and then the weekend! Yippee!!

Hope your week is going well.  Thanks for visiting.
