Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Spooky Card using Papertrey Ink's Witches Brew Stamps and Spellbinders' Boos Cocktails Dies

Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week's theme is to make something spooky and to add some purple.  I made a card utilizing Papertrey Ink's Witches Brew stamp set and some dies from Spellbinders' Boos Cocktail set.  My card isn't really "spooky," but I'm also the person who, when I was a teenager, would sit in the Pumpkin Patch coloring area with the 4-year-olds while my friends went through haunted houses!  I do not do well with REAL spooky!

This card's background was cut with a deckled frame shape (courtesy of Mama Elephant) which I painted in different shades of purple.  I heat-embossed the cup and saucer with black powder to give it a more grainy grungy look and fussy-cut them out.  The teacup and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink.  The skeleton hand is from Spellbinders' Boos Cocktails die set.  I don't drink, but the shapes in this set are really fun and I thought I could use them in other ways.  The stir stick is also from that set, but the bat on top of the stir stick is from Simon Says Stamp.  I glued all the elements to my background and splattered on some Dina Wakley Olive Gloss Spray and made some bubbles to give the tea a more bubbly cauldron type of look.
