Wicked!

Another Halloween creation!   I wanted to make a Halloween card that I could send to my grand nephews and nieces in pieces - so they could create their own Halloween card/decoration. They are 2,4,5 and 6 years old so I'm sure they will make some fun scenes!

So here are the most of the pieces I will send to the grands in an envelope - each die cut will have foam dots on the back so they can place them on the Cameo Frame background in any design they wish.  I'll also include the sentiment and ribbons. 
Here is how I put my card together.
I stenciled Tim Holtz Batgrounder stencil on the Cameo Frame using Ranger Distress Hickoey Smoke Ink.
The tree die is an old Sizzix die, the cat is from Tim's Raven and Scaredy Cat Die.  The fence was punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  I sponged the edges with more Distress Hickory Smoke Ink.  I glued just the end edges of the fence so it curves out over the cat and tree.
I was inspired by this image from Annes Paper Creations -  From the SCS Inspiration challenge
and also The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge Inspiration Board
Kent and I are off to buy some apples and delicious hot apple cider donuts at a nearby farm!  Yum!
