Here is the final CARDtober challenge! Thought I would post it early to give you a little extra time if you are striving for those bonus completion points!
I was inspired by this Midnight Sky I found on Pinterest. It was posted by Valeria Valasquez as a cell phone wallpaper option, but I love it as a jumping off point for Christmas cards. Dark skies with sparkling stars are part of my Christmas experience here in Northern Alberta.

I had wanted to use the sparkly colours, but ended up using this KaiserCraft pp with the navy background and gold dots. I still think I may add some Nuvo Drops or enamel dots to add a bit of colour, but for now here is my sample card...

The TWIST is in honour of Halloween. BOO! Add a pop up surprise to your card! I used a few Karen Burniston dies to create the pop up barn with the trees and horses out front for the inside of my card. I had wanted the Santa and sleigh to come up from behind the barn when you open the card but couldn't figure out how to do that, so just attached them to the moon.

Have fun!
