Two birds with one stone

I have been super busy this week!  Brett is leading another missions trip to the Dominican in October, and I get to go on this one!  In order to raise money for everyone to go, they have garage sales at his work and sell all of their leftover clothes.  On Thursday I helped put everything on hangers and on Friday I worked the garage sale.  This has not left me much time to craft! lol!  I had two challenges I wanted to do and only about an hour to do them both, so I decided to combine them!  Over at Hand Stamped Sentiments the challenge was to use the herringbone technique, which I have never done before.  

 

Colourq had this awesome color combination that I never would have put together, so this was quite a challenge for me!

 

Once I did the herringbone background (which was surprisingly easy and FUN!), I immediately thought it looked very halloweenish.  My little witch hadn't seen ink yet, so I decided to add her to my card.  That sentiment from Delightful Dozen was a perfect fit for the witch.  I think it looks like she is tap dancing on top of it!
