At the Houston workshop, Makiko provided us with cardstock that was already 'colored' around the edges. I wouldn't call it distressed since this looks much more refined, and I like the style very much.
Connie, one of the other KS Crew members told us how she made her very, very pretty bows! I've been playing around with those since we got back, and found a way to make them, too!
Here is the inside view of the card.
I used lots of inks since the pumpkins are some lighter, and some darker - as you know, no pumpkin is ever identically colored!!
One trick I did discover - when stamping the faces, I used a double stamping of More Mustard to get the background 'yellow', and then the black face on top. It really gave the look of depth.
I used some of my DCWV paper for the sparkly pumpkin background and used the Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder on the other side.

Fantastic Halloween card, Susan!!
The sponging edge looks wonderful ...I think you did a great job!
For my sponging edge, I use a sponge dauber and dye ink. I always dab the dauber on the scrap paper before applying to the edge. Instead of dabbing on the edge, I used apply with circular motion. HTH!
Thank you for visiting my blog and play along the KSCC with us.
Great Halloween card, another wonderful entry for the KSS Challenge, thanks for joining us!
