Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Spooooooooooky colors! Participants were to use Halloween colors on a card, limited to 4 embellishments. (Diecuts do NOT count as embellishments.)
I can't find my Speedy the Cat stamp...HE's MISSING!!! (Just the stamp, not my furry friend!)
So, I decided to make another project for Dollar Find Friday! I have over 100 of these take-out containers from Hunan Wok...(Can you tell we love their food??!!) And, they were FREE!!!! I put two packages of Cheddar Gold Fish in the container, and it's ready to take to school as Fall Festival Treats! (I don't give candy at Halloween to children. I give bubbles, books, puzzles, etc...I know, I'm the LAME CAT LADY!!!LOL!)
I ran the web embossing folder over the belly band several times, and the front of the card once. (Each item only has 3 layers!) The image was stamped in Noir Black Palette Ink and the moon was masked. I sponged in Lavendar and Landscape Palette Inks.

Very coooool! And spoooooooky, too! Love the idea of saving the take out containers for decorated treat containers!
And giving bubbles, books and such to the children is not lame. "Lame" is the word for folk who give out pennies because they ran out of candy (I learned that lesson sooo well as a kid that I now over-buy candy at Halloween! And that, of course, leaves more for me to eat!! LOL)

Ohhh, this idea is the greatest! I don't like giving candy away either...not good for their teeth! Love the container and the little note card. Your coloring and sponging are always a pleasure to look at.
