Happy Halloween Kraft Card

This was a fun card to make. Lots of sponging to give lots of character. The "Happy Halloween" message is a rub-on from the $1 bin - fits perfectly in the new Decorative Label Punch, edges sponged using that new Crumb Cake ink, and popped with dimensionals. The Crumb Cake (Kraft) mat is embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folders, also sponged. Layer on the strips at the bottom, then finish card off with Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon.

Card inside: Inside edges are all sponged using Crumb Cake ink. The "BOO" is a rub on.............perfect. Inside bottom has the same elements as the card front: Boo boarder, Dotted Scallop strip, and ever so slight Pumpkin peeking out from the Old Olive strip.
