I used three sentiments from Banner Sentiments - Fall for this card. The papers are from My Mind's Eye. The ribbon is from my stash.

The spider and web are from Halloween Shapes die set. The banner tags are from the Ribbon Banners Straight die set.

The black cat is also from the Halloween Shapes die set, as is the...

...skull. All of the dies were popped up with foam tape. I have another card to share with you.

I had this idea to create a mummy and then I remembered the Spellbinders Mix'd Media Playtime set...I used the girl from the set and wrapped her with ribbon. I inked it in spots with TH Pumice Stone distress ink (couldn't have a pristine white mummy ;) and added the googly eyes :) The papers are from Recollections. The bat is from the Halloween Shapes die set. The banner is a Ribbon Banners Straight die, and the edges were inked with TH Pumice Stone Distress ink. The dotted boarder above the banner is from the Fancy Edges - Halloween die set.
