Halloween Diorama Card

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! I've created a 7" x 5" Halloween Diorama card, which can stand on its own, yet folds to fit in a 7" x 5" envelope. I've used The Crow Unmounted Rubber Stamp Sheet 319 and The Crow Plate Unmounted Rubber Stamp Sheet 361 by Crafty Individuals with a sentiment from the versatile Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle. 

Here's a front view of the card.

Here's a photo that shows that it's 3D and stands up!
