I love creating a mask and blending through and around to create a background. For this card I used, Lemon Lime Twist, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black ink. Adding extra texture with sprinkles of water. Black heat embossing makes the images pop. The Playful Ghosts stamp set is one of my favourite Halloween sets and will be in my craft room for many years.

It's Halloween week, and I want to share the Playful Ghosts stamp set with you. This set has some super cute ghost images, perfect for adding colour.
For my first card I have created a background using tone-on-tone stamping. The smaller accents images are fabulous for creating backgrounds. The ghost is coloured using Stampin' Blends, and as we don't have Gorgeous Grape Blends, layering Highland Heather works a treat.

On this weeks live I shared how you can use the Christmas Mix & Match Ephemera Packs to create two easy scrapbook pages. I paired these with my favourite DSP, Sentimental Christmas. This DSP has a retro feel and a mixture of beautiful designs.

My final project with the Christmas Mix & Match Ephemera Packs is this little tag. Homemade tags can add that wow factor to any prezzie. I like to use plain brown wrapping paper and add a beautiful tag. The wrapping is then fully recyclable, with only the tag needing to be throw in the waste. I do try.
