Happy Halloween...Witch Hazel

Hi everyone!  I've been away from my craft room for some time, but happy to say that I am back to start crafting again. 

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween and share my card using this week's sketch from The Paper Players. 

This card is not a standard card size because I wanted to make sure the postcard fit.  It measures 5 1/2 x 6...an odd size I know.  Didn't want the card to be completely flat, so the banner is curled at the ends and the tag adhered with foam tape.   I added the Halloween washi tape I purchased at Michael's.

Supplies~
pp: Witch Hazel {October Afternoon}
tools: fishtail dies{MFT}
others: enamel dots{MME}; embellishments from Witch Hazel collection{October Afternoon}; Halloween washi tape{from Michael's}

DT: Unscripted Sketches~ Hello Kitty

Hi Everyone!  This is the last sketch for 2012 at Unscripted Sketches.  Thank you for participating and sharing your talent with us!  We look forward to having you join us again in the new year.

I used the Hello Kitty paper pad and matching embellishments.  Some of the corners were rounded with my corner chomper.  The chipboard embellishments were adhered with 3D glue dots.  This is my first project using my Hello Kitty stash.  I was able to snag some Hello Kitty goodies at Michael's.  I remember going to the mall and would always stop by the Sanrio store...I still stop by now and then to look at all the pretty merchandise!
