Chocolate Baroque recently launched three fabulous Halloween sets and while I don't make many Halloween cards I couldn't resist ordering Book of Spells while I was on a break from the DT. The spider web corner fragment is awesome and I think it would be fun in non Halloween designs as well.
The sentiment is from Bewitched Moonlight and the rest of the images are from Book of Spells. The background is Distress Inks and I used a lovely stencil by Tim Holtz. I used Inktense pencils to add a little colour to the haunted house and lots of glitter on the roof and ghosts.
Thanks for your visit,

Wonderful halloween card! Very playful! I love it!
Stunning! Love the look of those stamps and the way you used them, together with the stencilling in the background looks fantastic!
I'm not big on Halloween, but boy do I like this card, Shirley--fabulous creation!

Hello Shirley!
I don't do Halloween either! but I love the colours.
I think it was a country tradition, then more of an American thing.... but seems to have taken off here!
Lovely card Shirley hope you have settled into the new house well!
Take care
Love Marg
Wonderfully scary, those spiders make me shudder! Hugs, Valerie

fantastic Shirley! A fabulous card!
This is lovely Shirley, the colours are gorgeous and the background stamping and stencilling is meticulous. I too think the cobweb fragment could work on lots of cards and I love the house and the bats. A great Halloween card. x
I don't do many Halloween cards either, but I love this! That haunted house is awesome and so are the spider webs! I'm doing fine, hope you are too.
This is a wonderful Halloween card with an amazing background and fabulous stamp images. Mar x
Creepily luscious, Shirley! Am I on your 'send-her-a-card' list?! :D
Looks like a fantastic CB set, and these gorgeous colors really set it off very dramatically. Am loving that haunted house and the subtle background you've got showing in places. That cracking would indeed work on other cards rather just Halloween. Sorry to be slow in visiting, but now I'm going to catch up some posts I missed here. Hope you are all settled in your new craft room by now. Hugs & TFS
Wonderful card Shirley! I love everything about it!!

When I saw this make Shirley I was spellbound it is one of the nicest Halloween creations I have seen. Beautifully thought out and all brought together stunningly.

Hope you are settling in and that all is well.

Funny that you say you don't often create Halloween cards. This looks amazing! Nice subtle variation in the background colour :)
Love the way you have used these stamps and the subtle way you have used the stencil and the colours. It's all marvellously spooky.
I got mesmerised in the websites following your links but remembered to come back!
Such a great Halloween card! Those webs and spiders around the edge are fabulous. Xxx
I really like this Halloween creation...not too spooky...so I don't get scared Shirley :-)
Compliments!
