First Halloween card ever made

Good morning everyone in blog land today!
I hope your week has been better than mine lol. 

Thank you also for your comments on my previous projects.   If I'm honest I've not been too happy with my crafting lately , not sure if its just because its been a while or not having much time as I used to.  Having a new puppy takes up all my time lately , it's like having a newborn baby all over again.  

My sister and I took him to the lucky hills yesterday which is hills, parks, woodland and lovely walks to go on.   He really enjoyed it but I was suffering from migraine at the time and unfortunately with the sun it made it worse.   So no crafting yesterday for me. Lol

Today I found a lovely digi stamp of a witch on my laptop which with Halloween looming upon us thought I'd make my first Halloween card.   

When I stopped crafting I sold my grand callibur and I've so regretted it ever since. I still have my dies but not the machine.  Luckily I had a few spare lying around to use for this card. 
This time I made a centre step card which you can do by following this tutorial here:  centre step card

Front View

The dies I used for matting of the witch are from sizzix.  The window, gate and flower dies are from spellbinders and the butterfly's from Martha Stewart.  I coloured the witch with pro markers.  I then used brown flowers to stick on the windowsills of each window which were bought from eBay.

I hope you like this one. It's different to my usual projects . 

Have a lovely day all. 
All the best
Sharon.

    A great Halloween card Sharon. I bet you are really kicking yourself about your GC. You'll just have to save your pennies for another one, or something similar. But I'm sure you are having lots of fun with your fur baby. Christine xx

    Hi Sharon,
    superb card today. What superb colouring in of the wonderful saucy witch. I always did admire your ability with promarkers. I could do with you teaching me a few things. Love the unusual design too.
    Have a wonderful crafty day.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    Hi Sharon,
    it's me again forgot to say. I do hope the migraine gets better soon. DH suffers quite a lot with them.
    Makes him feel very tired the next day and he can't concentrate on anything after one.
    Lots of crafty love . Jenny L.
