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.

Love that sparkle on this colorful card, Polly! And your new technique turned out pretty nice especially for a first try! But those guys really don't look 'spooky' to me~
