Tiddly Inks Neon Witch !

Good Morning!

Getting the chances to craft this week are few and far between due to my shifts at work, however I wanted to make sure that I had at least one thing to share with you this week ... today's card is the result!

I have used the other Tiddly Inks Digi that I treated myself to along with the one dressed as a pumpkin a few weeks ago. I also cut the Penny Black Tree die with coloured card stock to give them a Halloween twist. I purposely kept this card without a sentiment to make it versatile enough to be used either as a Halloween or Birthday card around that time of year!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Autumn / Fall Colours !

Good Morning!

It's the first day of October (blimey this year is going fast) so it's time for a new monthly challenge over at PBSC and this month the theme is 'Autumn / Fall Colours!'

It's my birthday next week so with this is on my mind I created a Birthday card!

I have used a Christmas stamp that was released last year but I think it's great for more than just the winter season! I stamped the design three times, only inking up once to create a faded effect. This technique is called second / third generation stamping.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges -

CUTE CARD THURSDAY - CLEAN & SIMPLE
