What's Brewing? A Halloween Card

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! This week's theme is  "Anything Goes", but it's still October, so I've made another Halloween card.

Here's the card!

Note:

As you can see, the cat from The Biters - Jab Collection Unmounted Red Rubber Stamps has become a witch, courtesy of the witch hat from The Funny Accessories Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set. She's either hungry or needs to make a special potion. Being a cat, she's partial to fish, so she already has some fish heads simmering and is stirring the pot with the fish skeleton.  She's about to add a mouse from the Three Woodland Mice Clear Polymer Stamps to her magic stew. Yum!

1. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the witch hat from The Funny Accessories Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set onto the image panel and onto repositionable label paper.
