Boo!

Hello and good morning crafty peeps! Were you able to make a card(s) in honor of World Card Making Day yesterday? We spent the afternoon rearranging and installing shelves in my craft room.  New ink storage shelf and more shelves to the left of it. Oh Joy And Rapture For Additional Storage Space!!! 



(Yes, there's a wine glass next to the lamp. It's a mandatory element in my craft room!)

But I was finally able to crank out a couple cards. Here's one of them:


 Here's the inside:

My card is based on the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch #156, and the colors from Color Throwdown #312. This is another rare card in that there is no stamping on it. Plus I used mostly all scraps, except for my card base. Bonus! I bought these jack-o-lantern die cuts the end of last year on clearance and it's the first time I've use them. Before I took the shapes out of the die, I used it as a stencil and inked them with a few colors of Distress Inks. The spider and 'BOO!' are stickers I've had for a couple years. 

 

Thanks for popping by, and I hope that you have a great day today!
