Trick or Treating with Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps!

Ok, I couldn't resist one more blog hop before the big day is finally here; how could I not join in, when Simply Betty Stamps and Tiddly Inks have joined forces?
If you'd like to join in, create a Halloween projevt and share either a trick or a treat with us all. You can see all the details HERE and HERE



Now, I wouldn't presume to call any of my projects "treats", so I have a trick for you. I've recently become enamoured with paper piecing with digi papers, and there's a WONDERFUL way to make it look better, simply re-size the paper right down before printing so that it's only slightly bigger than your image. This means that, when you're paper piecing clothes, the patterns in the paper aren't too big to look right as patterned clothes. In this project, Spiderella's dress is paper-pieced with the same paper as the background, but at only 25% of the original size. I have to say, I love this technique, and I haven't seen it anywhere else, so I don't have to try and remember where I found out about it and credit them, I did it playing in PSP :D Woohoo, credits to me! :P
And, since it's a hop, I thought I'd have a giveaway, just leave a comment on this post and at the end of the hop I'll put all the names in a hat and draw a winner to get a free paper set from my shop. You don't need to be a follower; as long as I can find you from your comment, then you're in :D

And, of course, of course, I've had a few different challenges in mind when creating this card, so here they are:
