Krafty Komeback and a Challenge

It's a very exciting day at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!Not only is it challenge day but it's also time for a....Krafty Komeback!!

In case you are new to Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, we have been creating whimsical krafty stamp sets for over TEN YEARS!  So we have lots of incredible designs that have long retired and once in a while we bring one back for you!

It's called.....YOU'RE A SCREAM!

I used the adorable Mummy for this card.  I used the Gorgeous Gauze Stencil with Totally Taupe ink to create the background.  I then used several layers of pattern paper to create the backdrop.  I finished it off with assorted Krafty Dots.

Mummy: W3 and W1
Pumpkin: YR18 & YR14
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00 and E000
