BOO!

Hi Jamie here! I wanted to share a card to get you in the spirit of the season. I love Halloween, mostly because I love candy!

This is a Glitterbabe image. This one is called Boo Tombstone. It is perfect for Halloween. I colored it with Copics and added some Stickles to the boo and eyes. I hand cut it out. You can find this cute image with many others in the TSB store. This month the Fall, Halloween and Christmas images are 40% off! Grab them while you can!
