Throwback Thursday: Happy Halloween!

Hello my treasured friends!

It's been a super busy week here, and there has been loads going on! I will update once I get a chance to! I just wanted to quickly post the card that I created for Emma over at My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge is to create a Halloween themed card with the card feature on any older cartridge. I attempted to create my first 'Spinner Card' with the Wild Card Cartridge, but I couldn't make it work with what I had so I had to make due. I'll know for next time! :) So here's how it came out!

Such a cutie little pumpkin!! Here's a look at the inside of the card:

Trail of Treasures:

• Card Base - pg. 51 Pinwheel Card cut at 5.5" in Kraft coloured cardstock, distressed around the edges with black ink
• Card Layer - cut at 5.5" and trimmed down, used Authentique Glowing 6x6 Stack, wrapped Trendy Twine Orange Licorice twine, and tied a bow
• Pumpkin - cut from the Pumpkin Carvings Cartridge at 2.5", used the Trick and Treats Disney Mickey Accessories Die and Embossing Folder Set for the witch hat - added Purple and Gold Stickles to it, and Inssentials Enamel Accents Dimensional faux enamel in black. Face is from PK-550 Pumpkin Faces Set
