My cousins have a Halloween Anniversary and I must say that I this is my favorite card to make every year. I just have so much fun with it. I always keep it the traditional orange and black and then do anniversary things around it. I just LOVE how this card came out, I have been trying to stamp more and I'm starting to feel the tingle come back. I just ardored the striped DP and knew I had to use it on this card. I CB'd the lower layer and poped it up on dimensionals. The Very Vanilla layer is tucked under the ribbon. For the flowers I actually pierced "faux" stems and stamped off the petals just so they were not a harsh black. The flowers themselves were stamped first, I actaully rock n rolled through more mustard, pumpkin pie and really rust, then punched them out, then dazzled diamond to give them sparkle and poped on dimendionals. The sentiment was clear embossed. TFL and Happy Halloween!!!

Gorgeous. Love the colours and your flower technique - awesome. Thanks for the great description. I'm inspired to try it myself (maybe not orange and black...but we'll see) TFS!
