scarecrow

I completed two challenges with this card. This would be my fourth card submitted to Barbs PMSSC01. The colors selected for Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - Challenge. It may be hard to see in this photo, but I inked the edges of the blue with orange. I learned how to do that today from Penny. She consulted a scrapbook party for me today yayy! I always wondered how she did that. I made this card with the intentions of sending it to my husband in Afghanistan. I didn't want to put any writting on the front like Happy Holiday or Happy Halloween, because over there it's just a normal work day like any other day. He works seven days a week so I decided I'd just leave it blank and handwrite on the inside "Thinking of you this Holiday" or something close to that. I try to stay positive and watch things I say. I try to refrain from saying I miss you or I wish you were here. Instead I try to say I look foreward to the next time I hear from you or something like that. I picked up that tip from a deployed spouse support group/dinner I went to. By the way the blue and orange are much brighter in person then in this picture!
