November Challenge at Crafts Galore Encore

We've survived the first (early) snowfall, Thanksgiving and Halloween and now it's November and a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. This year is going very quickly indeed!

This month we are sponsored by The Fantasy Art of Nikki Burnette.

This artist is new to me, so I had fun looking through and choosing an image to use. I wanted to get away from Halloween images as I've done so many lately and strangely I ended up choosing 'Arden' which is the banner image!
I have used the following products to create my card:

Canson Illustration cardstock
Papermania cardstock
Flowers & Berries from my stash
Sizzix Stampin' Up Embosslits 'Beautiful Wings'
Darice embossing folder 'Retro Circles'
Wink of Stella clear
Sakura Gelly Roll white
Promarkers - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush, Mustard, Gold, Raw Sienna, Burnt Orange, French Navy, Aegean, Sky Blue, Tulip, Warm Grey 1-5, Antique Pink, Pastel Pink, Moss, Pear, Olive, Pumpkin, Denim, Midnight, Sunkissed Pink, Cinnamon & Buttercup

I used a torch on the dress to better show the Wink of Stella glitter effect!

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Something Wicked This Way Comes at Club KennyK

Wow, where did October go? It's already my last Halloween guest post at Club KennyK!

The theme is 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' so obviously I had to break out the Graphic 45. I've made so many Halloween cards recently, I wanted to do a little something different for this challenge. My Mum gave me a vase of black roses, so I've made a vase 'wrap' (or maybe it's a tag, I'm not sure what to call it) using 'Devil Girl'.
Other products I have used for my creation:

Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells papers & embellishments
Core'dinations Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Collection cardstock
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink 'Walnut Stain'
Tonic Tim Holtz Paper Distresser
Twine, ribbon & gems from my stash
ProMarkers - Umber, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Gold, Cool Grey 5, Crimson, Ruby, Berry, Burgundy, Cardinal, Sandstone & Cocoa
