- The 2 Sizes Smaller image was stamped on white cardstock and die-cut with a Big and Little Chain Rectangle Die.
- I used Nautical Blue Memento ink .
- The stamped panel was matted with a piece of blue cardstock.
- I adhered a piece of blue/white checkered patterned paper to a white card base.
- The matted/stamped panel was adhered to the card base with foam tabs.
- The scalloped border was die cut from blue cardstock and adhered at the top of the card . It is my favorite retired Tim Holtz/Sizzix On the Edge Scallops Die.
- I adhered some sky blue pearls across the scallops.

Whoop
Whoop Here It IS!
I've been waiting for this stamp for a LONG time. Thank you to Technique Junkies for making it. I'm ure you all remember a song by Tag Team from the early 1990's that is still loved by all. It has worked its way into our everyday day conversations. It is about time it made its card making debut.
I wanted to appear as if the moon was saying "Whoop", so I used white pigment ink to sponge a grey card stock. I added a bit of yellow and grey to give it a spooky feel. Splattered the white ink to create some stars in the background. All it needed was a character wish a bit of personality. With Halloween around the corner, I chose this too cute to spook ghost. I hope you love it. I know this stamp is going to be a favorite in my collection.

The Pile of Skulls Have Eyes | HUGE Halloween Sale | Halloween Card
If you want to make this card, this is what I did:
- I made a top folding A2 card base using black cardstock.
- I went through my stash of Halloween papers until I found one that I felt paired well with my stamped image. I die-cut a part of it using a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main and then I adhered it to my card front.
- I stamped Pile of Skulls on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main, and adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.
- Then I adhered small googly eyes to each of the skulls.
- Lastly, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, stamped Wicked Halloween in the center, and then adhered this to the inside of my card.

Inside of card:
This card is self-explanatory, but I’d like to pass on a few tips.
* To make the house appear more dimensional I stamped and cut out a 2nd house, added foam dimensions behind it, then slightly offset it on top of the originally stamped house. I used a yellow highlighter in the windows for that glowing look, and a light gray Tombow marker around the window frames. I also used the gray around the house (the one stamped on the card base) and on the skulls.
You could leave the background behind the house, bats, & sentiment white, but I decided to use prisma colored pencils to shade it a little. I alternated light blue, yellow, and orange.
The Halloween Scene set of 12, Spidery Halloween, and Pile of skulls are the stamps used on the front.
The inside stamps: There are no skeletons in my closet and Halloween swoosh!
Most Halloween stamps can be found here.
