'Halloween or Fall' is the theme this week over at Paper Sundaes and there is a $15 gift certificate from our sponsor - Simon Says Stamp to be won.
I have been really wanting to try the "distress ink around a circle moon with an owl on a branch and a spider" technique thingy.
You know what I mean.
I decided that this card needed to be plain and simple.
Unfortunately I was under the misguided idea that this also meant quick and easy.
Not so! (Not happy)
But sometimes you just have to go with your instincts - take a chance - risk it all - have a go - run out of time to make another one!
I decided to combine both theme choices this week ... this is my 'Halloween' card with a spider who looks like he is about to 'fall'. (he he)
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Scrapalicious Black Orange and Purple
Paper Crafting Journey #21 Black White and Orange
Fussy and Fancy Fall or Halloween
Crafts 4 Eternity #41 Orange and Purple
Card Makin Mammas #31 Halloween

Just popped over to the Paper Sundaes website and saw all of the amazing creations that the girls have made this week. Ohhhh - they are fabulous! Check them out.
You are so funny! I love the orange gradation in the background, mine always look splotchy so super impressed! And I am pretty sure the owl won't let the spider fall far from his mouth!
