Step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Cut white card to measure 3 1/2" x 5 1/2", and 6 1/4" square. Cut Black card to measure 3 5/8" x 5 5/8", and 6 3/8" square.

Step 2: Take the large square of white stamping card and using Memento ink randomly stamp ghosts and diamonds over it, ensuring to stamp over the edge of the card to get a uniform look. Take a grey Gem pen and outline the images to give a shadow effect. Blend Black Soot Distress Oxide around the edges.

Step 3: Mat the white card to the slightly larger square of black card.

Step 4: Take the white rectangular piece of card and use Memento ink to stamp the image above over it. Blend some Black Soot Distress Oxide around the edges.

Step 5: Mat the white card to the slightly larger rectangular black card.

Step 6: Affix the rectangular background to the square background as shown above.

Step 7: Die cut 2 ovals from white card, and blend Black Soot Distress Oxide around the edges. 

Step 8: Attach the ovals to the background using glue as shown above.

Step 9: Stamp a ghost on white card using Memento ink, carefully cut out and apply Magic glue. Affix crystals, and apply Crystal Art Sealer and allow to dry. Affix to background using 3D Glue. Stamp a sentiment, cut out, mat to black card and attach to card using 3D glue.

Step 10: Affix background to card blank using glue, and finish by adding some large grey crystals and some Glitter Glue to the crystals.
