Happy Halloween!  Today's feature card was designed by my downline, Sandy.  She always adds little details to her cards that my brain never comes up with.

The white highlights on the spider web were made by dragging a slightly dried out white StazOn ink pad.  It added enough color, but not too much, to highlight the spider web.

Here in Minnesota, we've had one of the most beautiful autumn's that I can remember.  In many ways, it felt like summer was extended.  I loved watching the colors change on our maple trees in the back yard.  Today's card was one that my Big Shot Club made this month.  I wanted to show them how versatile the 113463 Top Note Sizzix Bigz Die was.  Put your cardstock on the Top Note Bigz Die and put it through the Big Shot.  Then turn the cardstock and put it through the Big Shot a second time.  I love this idea!  This card also shows how you can use 120985 Waffle Paper as a paper ruffle on the bottom of the card.
