From The Crypt

I am having a workshop this week and thought I’d share one of the projects I have planned.  I was thrilled that the hostess requested we make a Halloween item.  It meant I got to use the stamp set that grabbed my attention the first time I went through this year's Idea Book & Catalog.  The set is called From the Crypt and it reminds me of really cool tattoo art.
