Just for You on Halloween

      The latest challenge at Beccy's Place has the usual "Anything Goes" theme but the optional twist this time is to CASE yourself.  When I sat down to do this card, another Halloween card was sitting on my table and I decided to CASE it.  Here's that card:  


and here's my Beccy's card, using an image
from the "Witch Starter Kit":

I was inspired by the colors in this photo from Archiscraps.

      I reversed the diagonal and used a simple rectangle die from QuicKutz to cut the image.  I inked the image edges with  black ProMarker to make it pop from the background.  The striped paper is also from Beccy's (Little Witch set - which may be retired since I don't see it in the store  <----- Edited to add this note from Beccy: The "Little Witch" paper is actually a freebie that you can find on my blog... it comes with the Little Witch free image. ) and the bat paper came from a left over scrap, maker unknown.

     I added a strip of polka dot, orange, washi tape and a strip of lace (which is purple even though it looks almost black!) before layering on the image.  

     Challenges:

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Cute card. Definitely glad it's got eye of newt on it. When we were kids we always hear that. [Bunny]

Love it NanaConnie! You've done a fabulous job putting the different elements together, I particularly like the addition of the lace. It adds an interesting texture that you don't expect when thinking of Halloween. The bats in the background add just the right amount of spookiness!
Cheers,
Beccy
P.S. The "Little Witch" paper is actually a freebie that you can find on my blog... it comes with the Little Witch free image.
