Banner Challenge

I have finished my card for the banner challenge on the Card Trends Blog. I went with another Halloween card (because I'm a sucker for Halloween papers and embellies!) and spiced up my banner with little individually wrapped button candies. I seriously wrapped each button in tulle (that matches the tulle at the bottom of the card) and tied the ends with a bit of embroidery floss. I'm not sure if you can tell by the photo but the green circle is actually a cut-out window. The green paper is on the inside of the card. Does that show?

I love how the little guy looks like he's watching the banner, hoping some of the goodies will fall into his waiting treat bag! Without further ado, here it is:

My candy banner up close: Wish me luck! I completely adore Card Trends and was so honored to have them spotlight one of my cards last week. Let's hope for two in a row!! :o)
