Flying Witch Marci

I hope you had a good weekend.  After a very dry and sunny spring and summer we had a rain and wind storm yesterday and lost power for about six hours. We were the lucky ones, some people lost their power overnight and/or had trees falling on cars and houses. When I lost power is when I realize d, it's not always the best to own a Vagabond die cutter without a manual backup.

I didn't do much crafting yesterday but I did manage to make a card today.

I used a La-La Land Crafts Halloween stamp that I had not used yet to make my 5 1/2 inch square card.

Here are a couple of pictures of my card.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Hello, I hope your having a good weekend so far. Besides doing laundry and grocery shopping, I have had a chance to make a card.

I have made another Halloween card. This time I used Magnolia's Flying Witch Tilda stamp, which I coloured with Copic markers.
