<p>On my card I used <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/october-fun-clear-stamps?aff=7">October Fun Clear Stamps</a>, <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/spooky-greetings-clear-stamps?aff=7">Spooky Greetings Clear Stamps</a>, and <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/fall-leaves-clear-stamps?aff=7">Fall Leaves Clear Stamps</a>.</p>
<p>First, I stamped the leaves randomly directly on the card base to create the background.</p>
<p>Then I stamped the mummy and witch hat on a white cardstock, and fussy cut them.</p>
<p>Using Mini MISTI, I stamp the sentiment with 2 colors ink (green and black). I stamped them twice to get bold result. And I fussy cut it out.</p>
<p>I had extra galaxy watercolored background in my stash that I created with Gelatos and Acrylic Paint (<a href="http://helengullett.com/mixed-media-card-joy-clair-stamp/">tutorial here</a>), and I die cut it with 2 sizes Circle Dies to create the ring. And I added it on the card with adhesive.</p>
<p>On top of the ring I added the mummy and hat with thick glue dots, and then I added the sentiment with 3D foam tape.</p>
<p>Then I thought this card need some sparkle, so I added some glitter on the witch hat with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pen.</p>
