Hello Stampers!!  I made it through the first three days of school.  Needless to say I am beat, and was grateful for some time this afternoon to get back into my craft room.  I made this card for two challenges:  Free 4 All: Fiber Friendly on Splitcoaststampers and Freshly Made Sketches.

To start my card I die cut and assembled the Jack O Lantern.  Isn't that Jack O Lantern the best?!  I knew I had to have it when I saw it released.  It is kinda big, but I think it worked out well with this sketch.  Then I had to decide what background I wanted.  I was just going to use Speckled Egg, but when I blended it out I didn't like it.  So I went over to Pinterest and found the blend Walnut Stain, Shabby Shutters, and Speckled Egg and gave that a try.  I liked it much better.  So next I matted the blended piece in black and adhered the Jack O lantern.  It needed a little somethin' somethin'.  I found a grass die and added to the focal panel.  The Edison die comes with such cool clouds and I wanted to incorporate them into my card also.  So I die cut a gray and a white one and adhered them to the focal panel.  Before I adhered the focal panel to the card base I wrapped some twine around the bottom portion to add that layer for the sketch.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and added some clouds and another Jack O lantern with some smaller grass.  

I am almost done with my Halloween cards!! Yay!

I was the Queen of Clean!! Yay!
