Halloween is coming, and it is one of my favorite cardmaking holidays! I've been eyeing the Splitcoaststampers Falliday Fall Challenges taking place during with the month of October. In the back of my mind, I had been toying with the idea of making a card somehow with a big glitzy gold moon and a Halloween silhouette image. When the Falliday challenge "From Trash to Treasure" came up several days ago to use something recycled on your card, I remembered this pretty black and gold shimmery striped gift paper that I had saved on one of my husband's Father's Day gifts. I began to get excited and felt the itch to get to my craft table, because I was also remembering my Halloween card idea semi-formed in my mind. Below is the Halloween card that evolved as I worked on it...
This is the inside design and verse that I created to coordinate with the outside. I've decided this is the perfect card for my youngest daughter and husband. I think they will be delighted. . .they are all about Halloween!
