Fun and Ghoulish Soiree Card for Halloween

  We have created a   Phantom of the Opera   meets   Twilight  inspired card. This slimline card, with its red paint spattered effect has a fun and spooky theme: the story is that a formal soiree has gone awry on Halloween night. Below, let's see how easy it is to make this ghoulish card! Our  ​Vampire SWAK Rubber Stamp  combined with our  ​Chandelier Silhouette Rubber Stamp  create a spooky setting wherever they are stamped.
