Hiya and welcome to our next challenge at Passion for Promarkers. I don't normally do much for Halloween and as I say in the title, this is my first ever Halloween Card! That's because the colours chosen for our challenge this week over on Passion for Promarkers are Black, Orange, Purple and/or Green with the optional extra of Halloween, as chosen by my lovely teamie, Andie. We're being sponsored this week by The Craft Garden and up for grabs is a £10 voucher to spend with them.
Fabulous makes as ever by the rest of my teamies at PFP so take a peek and leave some love if you can, also check on the PFP Blog to see who won last week's challenge!
I couldn't wait to use this image from Mo's Digitial which I purchased a few weeks ago - the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz, one of my all time fave films. The image also reminds me of Witchy Poo from HR Puff and Stuff which I watched as a child here in the UK- loved it!!
I was going to make a straightforward square card, but I saw that DU2DS had a challenge for shaped cards and this stair step design is the result!
I don't have any Halloweeny sentiments but rather liked using this one from Krafting Kimmy - rather funny with Witchy flying around on her broomstick, looking for Lurrrvve don't you think!!
Now, I made this card with the colours from PFP in mind and the shaped card challenge from DU2DS. So when I was looking through the challenges to see which ones I could enter my card for, I was horrified to discover that my colours mirrored almost exactly a make made by one of the DT members for Mo's Digital and posted a couple of challenges ago!! I didn't "case" the make and actually hadn't seen it, but I would be mortified if people thought that I had blatently copied without giving credit!! So, I've decided to put the link here so that you can see Lisa's fabulous altered CD case! Her colouring is awesome and you will see that I've used almost identical colours for her clothing!! I do love the green skin tone of Lisa's image and wish I'd done that!! Go and take a peek - it's a fantastic blog!
There are actually quite a few challenges that my card fits this week, so here they are!

Oh wow Julie! This card is just awesome! I love the layered scene you have created and your coloring is just fantastic! Ah memories--most people probably don't know what HR Puff and Stuff was, but I was a fan too. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Digi Doodle Shop's Best!
it's a great card Jules!
I have to say i don't get the whole 'make a card for hallowe'en' thing - but then i hate hallowe'en in its entirety!! i just see it as demanding sweets with menaces!!! i hibernate for the night if i can't go out (usually go for a meal and pictures just so i don't have to answer the door every 5 seconds!! Bah humbug!!)
anyway, love the card all the same!!!

Hi Julie how are you? It's your first halloween card? Well it was worth the wait - it's fabulous! Mo's images are quite something and you've coloured this beautifully! Love the style of card...love all the leaves and the cat - so many awesome details just make it so special Julie! bx
Oh my goodness Julie this is absolutely FANTASTIC! I love your stair step card! Utterly adorable!!!

Ok this image is amazing and the card is super cute! Thanks for joining the Fussy and Fancy girls for this challenge. Stop back soon!
Great structural design for this card, Julie. I love the "wrought iron fence". Fab colouring and brilliant sentiment. I have bought rather a lot of Halloween stash but by the time I am able to use it, I suspect it will be too late for this year! Can't find those photo corners you wanted anywhere though - not even on the website. Sorry. But did manage to pick up some other things. Christmas is coming.... Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love Lesley
Hi Julie, this look fabulous! Love all the detail ~ such a great Halloween Card.
