Today I have made a Halloween card. I wanted to see if I could make an everday Tilda look like a Halloween one. I think I managed it, what do you think?

Following the great sketch I started with a black base card. I then cut a square of terracotta but it was a bit too light so I distressed it with distress ink. I then distressed all around the edges with a distressing tool. Next I then distressed some 'batty' paper with the ink and placed on top. Then I added a panel of 'starry' paper. I die cut a circle of gold mesh using a nestie and placed this onto the starry panel to represent the moon??? Now that the base work on the card had been done - the fun part begins...

I coloured Midsummer Tilda with promarkers and cut her out. I then hand drew and coloured a witches hat, cut it out and placed it on her head making sure I covered the flowers in her hair. Next I made her broomstick using a cocktail stick, raffia and sisal. I positioned 'Halloween' Tilda so that she looks as if she is 'surfing' through the night sky on her broomstick. A hand written sentiment finishes it off. I had great fun making this one, hope you like it, thanks for looking.
