OK, I know that title came from last year's SU Halloween rub-on sheet, but I fell in love with it!
The two ghosts on my card were made using the Faux Enamel technique. I'm a day late for this challenge, but I had to buy the crayons (I first tried with SU watercolor wonders and made a collosal mess of the cardstock I was using!# and after I got home and got to work, it was late in the day. I put two coats of glossy effects on the cardstock to really make it come alive. So I had to let it dry twice. And because I was going for a shimmery look, I added WAY too much Glimmer Mist #that's why the ghosts are mostly bronze in color!# At 3 am, I ran the cardstock through my big shot using a sizzix die to make the ghosts and waited to see what they would look like by day. They weren't exactly the effect I was going for, but I decided that they were going haunting in their Halloween costumes!
I attached them to the black cardstock, added a rub on in WW, and added the moon and stars with glue. Voila! An easy card, really, but the technique took a lot of time and running around #it would probably have helped if I had had the crayons and a good pencil sharpener-- I ruined two pencil sharpeners and a bunch of cardstock yesterday trying to get the crayons shredded!!)
TFL! And have a blessed day!

It sure sounds like you had one heck of a time pulling this card together, but let me just assure you I'm in total awe of what you've created. All of the halloween cards I've seen, this is just the greatest. The best of the best right here. I am totally lovin' this one!
