Spooky!

Hello everyone, I have a Halloween themed card to share with you today.  I don't normally do anything for Halloween but I'm really pleased with how this turned out.  It's for our Spooky themed challenge over at Craft Rocket this fortnight, why not come over and join us!

I found this design in 365 Cross Stitch magazine.  I've stitched it on 28 count white evenweave 2 over 2 using the recommended DMC threads.


 I've used orange and black card for my base and frame layers.  The background paper and sentiment is from Art by MiRan, a free download from her facebook group.  I added a couple of green Tattered Lace Cherish flourishes to finish.
