** October Card Challenge **

[Mystik Nat]

As we can look forward to some spooky happenings at the end of this month, the October challenge is to use traditional Halloween colours on a non-Halloween card!

So White, Black, Orange, Purple, Green... you get the idea...

And you'll get even more gold stars if you use "Halloween" stash for your project!

If at the end of the month there have been 10 or more cards posted here in this thread, then one lucky person will be chosen as a 'winner' and will receive a little goodie through the post courtesy of Julie at Scrapbooking Castle (http://scrapbookingcastle.co.uk/store/).

Thank agains to Julie for her support of the UKS monthly card challenge!! :D

Happy creating!

Nice one! I have a halloween birthday to make a card for, sounds like this challenge will fit the bill perfectly.

[Mystik Nat]

[EllePiggo]

I think I might have some of those colours somewhere!:D

Fab card Nat.:D

[Mole]

Makes a cool masculine card, that, Nat!

[Fifi-T]

Really fun card.

I've had my eye on those stamps for a while, is there a uk supplier?

Fi

[Bird]

Nope, believe these are Papertrey, in which case you can only get them from Papertrey, but they will post internationally

[Fifi-T]

I thought so but I am always a little wary about getting stung for vast amouts of duty, tax and surcharges if they include the shipping in the value.

[Bird]

No they can't include the shipping in the total etc, so it would just be the price of the stamp set which isn't alot

[tracygough]

Great card Nat, top marks!

[Secretme]

WTG Nat thats a fantastic card:wub:

[Bird]

Okay, here is my take on this October challenge, it was definitely fun thinking of what to come up with, thanks for a fab challenge Nat (if you pop on my blog these piccies will come up bigger and you can then see the gorgeous stickles that I used for the ends of all the petals on the flower, plus the details of what I used)

I love the transforming one. Its a set of colours I would never have thought of trying but having seen what you clever people have done I am going to have a go.

[Secretme]

GORGEOUS card hun!!! So perfect looking and the colours work wel together:wub:

[Mole]

Jackie - that's a great card.

[Lighthousegirl]

OK! Here is my effort for this months challange ...

I surprised myself and enjoyed using this colour combination. Thank you.

I am less impressed with the photo I took - the colours have come out strange - the base card was infact lilac ...

Enjoy!

[Karen J]

Just loved looking through these cards. There isn't one where I haven't thought 'wow'!
My BIL's birthday is halloween so hopefully I will come up with something as well soon.

[mum-on-the-run]

Gorgeous cards everybody, loving those colours :)

[Dan99]

I'm new to these challenges, so I thought I'd have a go! I didn't have any halloween coloured papers, so used papers from shabby princess and 2 peas in a bucket. I tend to make mostly fat pages or mini-books and surprised myself by enjoying this as much as I did! :lol: The result can be seen at:

[Mole]

Great result, Dan99

[Dan99]
