Then took a piece of kraft cardstock, dry embossed with woodgrain embossing folder, diecut it with frame folder. And used the negative to distress with Vintage photo Distress ink and framed the sentiment behind it.

Few leaves diecuts from Beautiful brocade papers, distressed it with Aged mahogany distress ink,arranged around the sentiment.

Light grey ribbon added and few peach pearls as the finishing touch.

Hope you like my take on the inspiration.

My take on this set!

The image is printed on a cs and colored using Fabercastell bicolor pencils. And its matted with a black cs and kept this focal card on the base cs.

Double stitched black ribbon is added on the bottom of the card, and the sentiment banner is added on top of it.

As a final touch, 3 pairs of Googly eyes are added to create a spooky effect 🙂

Hope you like the card.
