Just Us Girls challenge #843 - Die Week - Halloween

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I am here to share my card for this week's Just Us Girls challenge and this week is Die Week and Carol has given us the theme of 'Halloween', so grab all your spooky themed dies and join in the fun with us. We all love our dies don't we and I cannot wait to see all your gorgeous creations. Our guest this month is Carrie Sheridan so please pop over and show her some love.

I used a die set from Spellbinders that I don't think I've ever used apart from the gourds and I was inspired by the card example on the packaging so made my version of it.  The colours are gorgeous together and I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I hope you like it too.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting all the elements from grey, white, black, purple and purple glitter card.  I used liquid glue to adhere them all together.  I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed it with a 3d folder.  I added some purple ink all around leaving the centre white and darkened up the very edges with black ink.  I also added some black spatter.  I adhered the spooky cupcake, ghost, eyeball lolly, bats and sentiment with foam squares onto the embossed background before adhering it to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and partially embossed the bottom using the same 3d folder.  I again lightly inked the embossing with purple and black ink and added a score line to make the embossed border look more finished.  I added a ghost and eyeball lolly to the bottom left corner and a bat to the top right corner and stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink.  I adhered the panel to my card base using double sided tape.  

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