Wouldn’t these stamps look super cool on tweenagers Halloween party invite? 

Recipe:  Thriller stamp set, Black stamp pad & cardstock, Black grosgrain ribbon, Pacificia stamp pad& cardstock, Sky stamp pad & cardstock and Silver brads.

 To achieve this look I first rubber brayered my ultra white base layer with Sky ink.  Then stamped my main image in the center.  Using a large cirle punch I created a mask for the skull and then left it in place over the skull to brayer the Pacifica ink all around it.  Finally I stamped the scrolls in black over the Pacificia ink.  I used a few new colors that are available in the Autumn/Winter 2010 Idea Book for this stample.  The base color is a new pretty blue called Sky and the darker blue is Pacifica.  This just may be my new favorite blue!  So rich and regal feeling.
