Halloween Series #1- Stampin' Up Fall Fest

Hello and welcome to a Halloween card project that was a lot of fun to make. I used Tangelo Twist card stock for the base and Basic Black card stock for the layer and the new DSP from the Holiday catalog that goes live on September 1st. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. This is how the card ended but then I thought it needed a little bling so I added some gold sequins using Glossy Accents. I think they added the little sparkle that was missing. I die cut all the leaves at the bottom and inked the edges of some with the Tangelo Twist ink before placing them on the card.

I hope you have enjoyed this project and will check back often for more inspiration.
