Spooky candle

Boo!! Morning folks, it's time for another challenge over at C.R.A.F.T.

and this time our theme is:

SPOOKY!!

My mojo was a bit adrift this week and I couldn't get very inspired about making a card, I don't really send Halloween cards, so I thought I'd try stamping on a candle instead. I bought some candles last year to make some Christmas decorations but ran out of time. Anyway I found the candles again & this is my first attempt at decorating one. I really enjoyed doing this, it made a nice change and it's great fun!! I used this fun digi called Witch Bear from Lexi's fairydust store which you can find here.

Don't forget to head on over to C.R.A.F.T. to see the other fantastic DT projects and enter your spoooooky creations to be in with a chance of winnning a fantastic £10 voucher from our sponsor (one of my favourite shops!!) :

For my card I have used a Personal Impressions stamp & sentiment from a set that I bought back in March at 'Make It' - can't believe it is the first time this one has been inked up!!
