Crafts Galore Encore October 2016

Can you believe it's the first of October already? The nights are starting to draw in and the weather has turned chilly here which makes perfect conditions for crafting.
 The first of the month means it's the start of a new challenge on the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog
Thank you to everyone who joined in with September's challenge. The winners are on the challenge blog's 'winner's page'. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. A full list of rules are on the challenge blog.

Our theme this month is everyone's favourite
"Anything Goes"
and our sponsor is the fabulous KennyK Stamps
who are offering a prize of three digis from their store.

I was lucky enough to receive an image from KennyK Stamps and have made a tent fold card to showcase it.

Seeing as it's Halloween at the end of the month I dug out my precious Graphic 45 Rare Oddities papers. I used both black and purple pearlescent card for my matting layers and die cuts.

My image is called Devilish Donna but I think she looks quite sweet. I used my Copics to colour her and then cut her out. She is mounted onto the card with foam pads.

I used a clock die from Marianne and a birdcage from Spellbinders. The birds were made from a Heartfelt Creations die which I trimmed into a raven-like shape. I hand cut the bats.

I tucked a length of lilac lace beneath the layers and added two gem filled bottles.

The finishing touches are a black lace bow and some large gems.
Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the wonderful projects and cards created by the rest of the talented team and to enter your Anything Goes creations.
I've entered this project into the following challenges:
