Now, let's get into some spooky sweet crafting!
To start my card, I colored up a handful of images from the Spooky Sweet Holiday stamp set using my Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating dies to cut out the shapes and set them aside for later. I also head embossed the sentiments "Best Witches" and "to you" in white embossing powder, and, using the coordinating dies, cut them out to set aside.
For my background, I cut a 4" x 5.25" piece of light purple cardstock, a 4.125" x 5.375" piece of lime green cardstock and a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of black cardstock. I grabbed the purple panel and distressed the edges by ink blending Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress Inks. I then placed the October Nights stencil over my panel and ink-blended a solid layer of Villainous Potion Distress Ink.
Taking my purple panel, from the May Your Night Be Spooky stamp set, I stamped out the pumpkin garland image on the top and the pumpkin border on the bottom in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then poured clear detail embossing powder over the ink and heat embossed the images. Once set, I splattered the panel with Liquid Fire Orange and Kiwi Lime Paper Splatter. I placed the panel off to the side to dry.

When my panel had fully dried, I adhered my purple panel on top of the lime green panel, and that unit on top of the black panel to give a double frame. I used a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape to assemble my witchy cupcake and place it onto my card, along with my sentiment. I adhered the panel with liquid adhesive to an A2 card base, and a few embellishments from the Finally, Halloween Sequin Mix!
