Hi there! I'm here today to share my first card as an Official Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge DT member! Yahoooo! If you have visited me before, you may recall that I was currently a Flourishes Bring Back Beautiful DT member. Recently, there has been a few changes and a spot opened up so Julie had asked me if I would like to join the talented team of awesome designers! Of course I was quite honored and accepted! This week's Hostess is Silke and she is challenging us to create a Halloween Card/Project for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC140.

I inked up the fun witch's hat from the cute and sassy Witching You a Happy Halloween set witch :O by the way is full of so many spooktacular images!

I stamped the witch's hat on a pretty doily made using a Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles die template then using the assortment of Copic markers shown below, I colored the image. I added a touch of glitter to the beautiful little flower:

Just in case you were wondering what Copics I used, I took a pic (the round capped one is YR68 Orange):

For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Card Patterns Sketch 137:

Thanks so much for visiting! For some awesome inspiration, please be sure to see what the entire DT has created: Tammy, Heather, Silke, Makiko, Cindy, Beate, Mona (that's me), Rosemary Dennis (October Guest Designer)
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Flourishes Witching You a Happy Halloween
Dies & Machine: Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles, Classic Petal Edgeabilities, Grand Calibur, Sizzix tag
Patterned Paper: Authentique
Ink: Copic Markers, Ranger Antique Linen, Memento Tuxedo Black
