Happy Halloween/ 2 Sketches 4 You

Hello and happy Thursday. I got some more crafting time done today. Along with laundry too. Woohoo! I haven't been doing as many challenges lately like I use to. I have had this image sitting on my desk for a few weeks now along with the paper all picked out and everything. When I saw the sketch at 2Sketches4 You I thought this fit perfectly.

I know blue isn't your typical Halloween color but I thought it brought out the background in the image.

I used a pretty little gold button for the center and a couple of those leaves I am totally addicted to.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream

DP: Basic Grey & Making Memories

Image: from the internet

Seam Binding: Bluebird Lane Etsy

Leaves: Reccollections

Button: From stash

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Heather

Enjoy your day; It sounds familiar; cardmaking and laundry... :)
