I stamped two copies of the image, colored one completely and cut it out and popped it up on the mat and then colored just the puppy and popped him up too.
I don't do that many boy cards but I just love how sweet this image is and it was time to have him inked up and used :)

I love how perfect the paper in the pack was for me to use to Paper Piece the Mummy. I also added ink to the edges of the image and to mats and edges of the card to add to the distressed look the papers already had.
I adore the new Martha Stewart spooky fence punch and I'm sure you'll see it on quite a few more cards before this year's Halloween crafting season is over.
I hope you'll go over to see the fabulous work of the rest of the team!
