Keeper of the Crows

I've had a busy day moving stuff around the house today, packing china and emptying cupboards so the builders can come in next week and knock my kitchen out. Now can anyone explain why I found myself cleaning all the cupboards etc which will be thrown out!! Got to move my craft room tomorrow into the sitting room so that will keep me out of mischief.
I made this Halloween bag last night, the image has lain on my craft table for a week and luckily it still fits this weeks challenge.


The image is from Karen's Doodles and has been coloured with promarkers, the edges have been distressed with a bread knife, I've used bundled sage DI around the image and black soot DI around the edges. I've recycled a kraft bag, distressing with black soot DI. The pumpkin borders are matted onto black scalloped edge card. Quite enjoyed doing the teabag folded flower which is finished with a button. I've added a tag cut from a kraft ATC and decorated to match the bag. All the elements are from a free Crafter's Companion download except the Happy Halloween bottle top which is from Raspberry Road.
