(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.
