Halloween

I found this used black gift bag tucked away so decided to recycle it, obviously the colour made it ideal for halloween.


Image is from Delicious Doodles and it's been digitally layered onto a backing paper from Jak Heath, I've coloured it with promarkers and matted it onto a square and a scalloped nestie. Backing papers, pumpkins, spooky and tag are from Crafter's Companion - all printed onto waste paper. Cat silhouette is from Kameo Cards (very old stash) and borders are all punches from Martha Stewart. Bag is finished with buttons, baker's twine, ribbon and a glittery spider.
