For my spooky card, I started w/ an embossing folder I just bought & couldn't wait to give it a test drive. Don't know if you've noticed, but these ef's made by Sizzix just seem to emboss way deeper than a lot of other brands. So I had a piece of lavender card stock & I inked up the ef w/ some dk purple pigment ink, put my c/s in & embossed it. Then I took it out, sprinkled it w/ some sparkly dark purple embossing powder & heat embossed it (aka embossed embossing/ ). Wish you could see it..it is really sparkly!
The potions were stamped, colored w/ Copics & I fussy cut around the tops before adding a bright orange strip behind them. The ghost & moon were fussy cut & the greeting was split in two...the first line was fussy cut & added below the the potions & the second line was die cut & added higher up.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a fun card with the ef in purple. I'll have some of that hemlock, please. It's been a tough day!
