A detour from Christmas

Now I'm  not really a halloween fan but I thought I'd take a break from Chirstmas today and I do love the colours of this weeks colour story over at The Play Date Cafe. So I had a play with alochol inks in shades of Wild Plum, Pink Sherbert,  Eggplant and Citrus to create a background.  
The stamps are all from Stamp Addicts  and I've just added a black ribbon and a cat button that's been lurking around my craft box for ever.  I'm sharing this here -
The Play date Cafe - Challenge 102
Crafty Cardmakers - Anything Goes
Crafty Ribbons - Halloween
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Friday Mash Up - Halloween
Gingersnaps Chestnut - Horror Stories

 I had fun making this as it's so unlike what I normally do...will be back to Christmas tomorrow I'm sure....hope you're enjoying the weekend..Thanks for stopping by......Esther xx

    Absolutely gorgeous! It popped right out at me when I went to PDCC to do my entry... I can relate to the Christmas thing. I'm getting ready for a huge bazaar and used this as an excuse to create a birthday card for a family member!!!

    OOPS! I didn't look closely at that image--and I thought it was weird that you wrote you weren't doing a Christmas creation since I thought it was a Christmas scene....guess I should have looked again! LOL! I still love it! And I just noticed that cat--too cute:)
