Sketch and Stash and Cute Daisy May... Spooky!

Hi everyone! It's Sketch and Stash time again and here is the sketch to follow this time...

And here is the card I made...


I used my new Tilda image from my friend Kate and coloured her green(!) OH says she looks like She-Hulk, don't know if that's a compliment or not cause he loves his comic book characters! Anyway, my other new stash is my white gel pen which I used to write the sentiment and do the doodling. I've been looking for a decent white gel pen for ages as the Sakura Souffle and Gelly Roll ones just didn't work for me. This one was from Rymans (formerly Partners) and was about £2.50 and so far so good (although I wish the tip was thinner!) Before I forget the embossed background was created by embossing white card in a Cuttlebug folder and then going over with a black wax crayon which I thought worked well for the spooky card...


And the challenge this week over at Cute Daisy May is Halloween yay!!


Due to time constraints I've become an occasional contributor to the Cute Daisy May Challenge but I had to join in this week as I just love Halloween this year!! Love this cute image from Sheet 7 and the frame and stickers were from the Poundland sticker sheets (such a bargain!!)


Well, that's it for today... I have a full week planned for myself and Dylan this week... including a trip to a Wedding shop!! But don't worry... I haven't gone mad and decided to marry my OH (we've only been together 11 years!) I'm going to see my Best Friend in her dress, better pack the tissues!!


Love Becky xx
