- The vintage skull anatomy drawing is from The Graphics Fairy. I printed on ordinary white office paper, then mounted on grey cardstock, distressing the edges and inking them with Black Soot Distress Ink.
- Large dots of Orange Peel Stickles make the eye sockets glow and add the only color to the card...spectacularly spooky!
- For a shadowy stamp on the vellum tag, I used a black Stamp & Stick Glue pad. I stapled the tag to the card with my tiny attacher.
