This challenge couldn't have come at a more opportune time! I was trying a new technique that uses rubber stamps as molds for paper..You use layers of tissue (Kleenex) and wet each layer and put white glue on the final layer..about 5 layers in all. The art blog that gives more detail can be found here . I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I really like the results. I used the technique for the mummy and little dracula. I colored the mummy with acrylic paint and the dracula with copics. Then I used a fine point sharpie to outline. The background was watercolored with twinkling H2Os and I used some embossing powers to add sparkle.

Wow Polly! This is just the cat's meow! You must have the patience of a saint trying that technique? But the results are well worth it. At first I thought your mummy and dracula were from sculpty clay. This card is just the cutest Halloween scene ever!
