For last week's sketch challenge. I moved the embellishment to the left, so the ghost would show up through the window.
For this week's pop it up CAS challenge, using this week's colors. The sentiment is heat embossed with gold for dessert.
So here's the story: I went with a friend to Costco a couple weeks ago. Way in the back is where we found the paper products (tp and paper towels). The stacks ae divided by large sheets of yucky paper. With permission, I left the store with two of those sheets. That's what I used to make this card! The only paper that's not from those sheets are the tiny scraps inlaid in Jack's face.
I wouldn't recommend using this paper. It's brittle and soaks up color like crazy.

You are so clever to try new things and repurpose paper like that. Too bad it wasn't better for card-making, but I like how you utilized on this cute card. Terrific use of the challenge colors and the sketch! The jack-o-lantern looks like it is glowing from the inside. The ghost looks cool. Great card!

Your 'found' paper gives a rustic feel to your card. I love that the little scene includes a ghost peering in the window. Jack looks quite splendid too!

Wow - that paper is the bomb!!! Isn't it funny how life is so full of stamping ideas once we become hopelessly addicted stampers? Your card is super cute!
