2 Cute 2 Spook!

 Morning fellow crafters. I'm here today to share a new DT creation for the challenge over at

 'A Place To Start' where for the next month we have a twist for you to follow. Which is...

PURLEY HANDMADE!

For the Twist:  

1. No electronic die-cuts(i.e. Silhouette, Cricut, etc). Fussy cutting and manual cutting only! (i.e., Sizzix Big Shot, etc.)

2. At least one stamped image.

3. No pre-coloured digitals and no digital papers.

Embellishments are okay, but they cannot be the main focus of the design.  Twine, buttons, sequins, etc., are all okay

OK, so I fussy cut my main stamps out & made my own background. Also I just love my finished card!!
