 I have taken a little break from my Halloween crafting spree...  I'm kind of in a frenzy these days... I am starting up at the hospital here in town in just a few days!  So I'm trying to do as much as I can because I know I won't have as much free time on my hands once I start working.  Anyway, here is a simple card.  I used Basic Grey paper--I think the paper says it all!  Using decorative paper sure takes the bulk of the work out of making a card!  On the scalloped oval I used a combo of Pomegranite ink and Gold metallic ink.  I lightly sponged the edges and around the saying to give it a more antique look.  Actually my first idea was to dip the edges into gold EP.  But, its been so long since I have embossed I couldn't find my Gold EP!!  Its buried somewhere around here.  I probably won't ever find it in my heap of an organized mess....  *sigh*

Sarah, This is gorgeous! I love the colors. The paper is beautiful. I know what you mean about the embossing powder. I loose mine all the time.
