I used Halloweenies -- such a fun and spooktacular stamp set!

I created a mono card, reminiscent of those old, eery black and white tv shows. Remember those?

Earlier this month, my bestie and I went to a Copic Certification class here in NYC! Lol, we are now Copic Certified Designers! So, now you'll really see me work those markers -- which works especially well with the open line style of Paper Smooches stamps!

    Love your card!!! That frankenstein is so cute. Halloween stamps are about the only stamps that I really could use, I have an excess of most everything else. Thanks for the chance to win.
