Halloween card, Yes another one!

Hello everyone and what a gorgeous day. I am off work today because Dragon daughter number 2 has a bad ear. She refused to go back to Nursery even though the doc said she was fine!!!! She didn't sleep much last night - neither did I - but she is full of life with no sign of flagging. I felt like death warmed up most of the day!!!
Enough of my woes. Just like to say thanks to everyone who has pointed me in the direction of other DT calls.
This is another Halloween card - stating the obvious again - but I did it because Wendy at Delightful Sketches has reminded everyone that there is still time to do her fab sketch shown below. You could also be the proud owner of this image of Dracula Riley if you join in the fun.

I have used a digital image from Scrapbookingmad (see my sidebar for a link) Halloween kit. The

Border was from a freebie at The Creative Cottage called Spooktacular and is available for a month. The frame was from Summer Driggs Happy Halloween kit, which has been reduced in size and I put one of her orange background papers in the centre. The main background was some purple card in my stash and black glitter card forms the large borders.

I have used various ribbons in shades of purple from my stash, as are the buttons. I have tied purple thread through them for added interest. The sentiment is a stamp from the Pumpkin and Aubergine set I bought at the Range some time ago. I have coloured with purple chalk to blend in better and it has faux stitching around the outside.

The other challenges I am entering this card in are:-

Daring Cardmakers - Autumn and Purple,

Allsorts Challenges - Halloween,

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Buttons and stitching (real/faux),

Squigglefly - Halloween card with Black, Orange and Purple cardstock plus either a bat, crow or spider.

Papertake Weekly - Spooky and

Digital Tuesday - Halloween and a digi image.

Phew, more than I thought as I am doing more than one entry for a challenge now - never thought of doing that before but most of them are happy for you to do so!!

As ever please say what you think.
