I used the SUPER fun new Halloween Tags set, which I cut out and colored with my Copics. I stamped it in Early Espresso ink, and the lightening was stamped with Tangerine Tango ink. I used Smooth White, Hot Fudge, Orange Fizz, and Berrylicious cardstock from MFT. My buttons are also from MFT: Berrylicious, Orange Fizz, and Sweet Tooth, and I used hemp cord tied through them. To finish I added some Sweet Tooth grosgrain, and a Spiderweb Die-namics in Hot Fudge from MFT.
