Peaceful Boo! EEK?!!!

Peaceful Boo? EEK?

This card is new experience for me. I have never done a card with such open space before I think. My style is more (for better word) Organic!
It started with a project my son had to do for school. He was given a folded paper measuring 6 x 4.5 (ie 6 x 9 unfolded). He was supposed to cut out in his words - a peace sign like a card and decorate it. What he meant was a shaped card lol but I thought for some reason that the card had to have a peace sign in it. I guess that's what skipping lunch does for a person!. I took out the silhouette and designed a card . Took a while aligning and measuring and flipping images etc etc. While he was doing homework I enthusiastically cut it out. When he came down to look of course he said it was all wrong and he cut out approx shape out of another paper and showed me. I did cut out what he wanted but I was left with this one. So I decided to make a card out of it. I cut out a peace sign using a digi paper from scraporchard kit - spooktacular. Attached some googly eyes. Tied a satin ribbon. Embossed the card with a cuttlebug folder, added a sticker sentiment and behold a simple card. To make it interesting I add a  transparent sheet circle cut out from a spellbinder blister pack and after pasting it on the inside of the card wrote some words like boo and spooky with a permanent marker.



 I think I like simple style. I have to try it again.
