Hi all,

Today starts a new Challenge at The Paper Shelter where the theme is "Halloween".

The are so many fabulous images available at TPS that are perfect for this time of year.

My card share today features the composition from a new digi  called "A Beauty to Die For" 

and is available here.   Your purchase at The Paper Shelter  always includes

One Digital Stamp, One Coloured Stamp, One Matching Paper and One Composition

Such a wonderful selection...all included in the purchase price.

When I saw this beautifully coloured image I knew I had to make a card with her.

I created a gray frame using Martha Stewart cobweb punch set.

Added cheesecloth that I'd coloured using TH Black Soot Distressed Ink 

and placed it underneath the image, then stacked it onto gray then black layers.

I cut in black cardstock a MB Twiggy Tree and MB Woodland Branch  

Sentiment created in Word using ARCANUM Font

As always there is a wonderful prize for the winner, especially if you use a TPS image.
