Card Clubhouse IG Hop - Week 22 - Thrills & Chills

Hello lovely friends; I'm here to share my card for the Card Clubhouse IG hop organised by my sweet friend Kelly. We are on Week 22 and our theme is 'Thrills & Chills' so we want to see all your Halloween/spooky creations. This is going to be a great hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.
I recently picked up a few things in the 'end of an era' sale over at Time for Tea Designs (sad to see another craft store close) and one of them was this fun haunted house.  I did some ink blending and spatter and I love how it turned out.  I hope you like it too.
Here is my card:
Plus a closer look at the house:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and ink blended over the whole panel using plum punch ink; I also darkened the edges with black ink for a bit more drama and added some white spatters. At this point I decided to add a black mat layer so trimmed my blended panel down to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and adhered them together using liquid glue.  I found a strip of script patterned paper so blended some black ink all over and tore one of the edges, again adding some white spatters.  I adhered that over the blended panel using double sided tape.  I stamped the image onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with my Promarkers and added some white gelly roll highlights.  I don't have the dies so I fussy cut it out.  I added foam squares behind the image and added it onto the background, more towards the top.  I stamped and white heat embossed my sentiment onto black card and used a stitched banner die to cut it out.  I added this below the house, again using foam squares.  The panel was adhered to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and black mat layer.  I ink blended a border along the bottom of the white panel and again added white spatters.  Once dry I adhered the panels together using liquid glue.  I found a black bat left over from a previous project so added that to the bottom right corner using liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre using black ink and then adhered the panel to my card base using double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
