Gorgeous Gnome Birthdays - Whimsy Stamps

Whimsy Stamps, 31 Nights of Halloween!

  Hello everyone, 

Oh my - it has been a while!  I am so relieved that I can now get about well enough to slowly ease myself back into some colouring and crafting!

It's that time again when we celebrate 31 Nights of Halloween!

...and at Whimsy Stamps we know how to do that in SPOOK-tacular style!

There are lots of prizes to be won as well so make sure sure you find out how to enter by following the link on the banner above!

I have mixed up some new and older Whimsy Stamps goodies for todays card!

Firstly I stamped and coloured the fa-BOO-lous Haunted Parlor Rubber Stamp* with Copic Markers.  I'll pop the list of colours I used at the end of this post!

Then I die cut a piece of sparkly black card with the largest Wavy Nested Frames Die* and placed it over the coloured image.  I then cut the design into a rectangle.

Finally I added some die cut vellum ghosts and BOO using the Boo Die Set*

Thank you for popping by today!
