Here is my new stash ,, a Die=namics ‘Tag You’re It Die and stamp set and American Crafts Garland Ribbon.







I used some new Lawn Fawn stamps, coloured with copics and popped onto the die cut tags with pop dots. The paper is Basic Grey from a Nordic Holiday pack. I added some star dust stickles, ribbon , a Martha Stewart punched snowflake and a few Robins Nest Dew Drops to finish.

For my card I followed the fab sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge used this very cute House MouseWitch Way to the Candy stamp, aww Muzzy is way too cute to spook and the hat is way too big for Monica,,, bless :-)


I coloured with Copics and the edges inked with Black Soot distress inks. The papers are Authentique from the Glowing paper pack, all the edges were inked and I ran the sewing machine around the edges. The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado Mini Scary Words set.


I added a Martha Stewart spider, which is climbing over trying to get to the candy , and bat, not sure what he’s doing there,, flying in for a party !! :-) these were both highlighted with Star Dust stickles and a white gel pen, to finish I added a few Robins Nest Dew Drops.
