Diecut the Frank body pieces from Rainforest cardstock, the pumpkin from Carrot cardstock, and the shirt, skull & teeth pieces from Classic White.

Please note: the dies are flipped up for your reference. You will need to flip them over and cut into the cardstock when diecutting.

Diecut the tongue from Dahlia cardstock, the jacket pieces from Fawn & Truffle cardstock, the eyes from Classic White, and the Tombstone pieces from Brushed Silver, Mirror Silver, Fog, and Anchor.

Layer & glue together Frank’s head. Be sure to adhere the teeth before backing with the black cardstock. Glue the white eye layers first, then the black layers to the top.

Ink blend a night sky to a Classic White cardstock panel in purple, blue, green and black ink. I know the ink blending looks a bit strange, but bear with me until the next step. It will make all the difference!

Splatter the ink-blended background with Splatter White and Gold Rush ink. Adding these splatters turns the odd ink blending into a spooky night sky!

Once dry, mount the panel & the glitter gold moon to an A2 white card base with foam tape.

Accent the card with Aura AB crystals to finish.

TIP: I find using the Precision Tool from the Handy Tool Kit helpful when adhering the tiny crystals to the card.
