Creepy, Crawly, Cute!! for Sketch #172 at Unscripted Sketches and "Anything Goes" for Divas by Design #49, Lollipop Crafts #87 and Make it Monday #103

Hello friends - finally found time to make a card last night.  I've been wanting to play along with the Unscripted Sketches challenge for quite some time but it seems that I just haven't gotten it together to do so - until now :o)  This card is based on the Unscripted Sketches Challenge  #172 (see below) and I am really tickled with how it turned out!

I stuck with the sketch rather than the sketch and the piggyback challenge color option.  I tried to follow it pretty closely, but you can see a couple small creative changes I made.   I am also entering this card in three challenges with an "Anything Goes" theme: Lollipop Crafts Challenge #87Divas By Design #49 and Make it Monday #103.  I love to combine sketch and "anything goes" because there is always so many different entries to get inspiration and ideas from (especially from the DTs).  Do you remember catching bugs and spiders and putting them in your Mom's mason jars?  That's what this reminds me of - even though I was going for a "cute" halloween theme.  Hope you enjoyed this card today and thanks so much for stopping by!  Til next time - Hugs to you!
 
Supplies (all from Stampin Up!):  Cardstock - Very Vanilla (base), Basic Black and Tangerine Tango.  Stamps - Googly Ghouls (spiders) NEW, Perfectly Preserved (jar) NEW, Wicked cool (spider webs) and Teeny Tiny Wishes (sentiment).  Tools - word window punch. Other - googly eyes (come on a sheet of 50) NEW.
