Inside of card:

On the front I used The Halloween Scene set of 12 , Spidery Halloween, and to the right side of the front I used part of the background stamp Pile of Skulls , plus a couple of googly 

eyes 👀 .  Michael, those are for you!

On the inside I used There are no skeletons in my closet (make sure you read the small print. It’s funny!) and the recently released Halloween Swoosh!

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.
