Peachy Keen Challenge 5

This is my latest card, it's inspiration is quite humorous. I knew for the challenge I really wanted to use this mummy stamp. I jus think he is adorable! I couldn' think of a sntiment though so I did a google search and fouond gems like " Living on a nudist colony must ruin Halloween" and " Time for a coffin break" But I just fell in love with mind your mummy! So had my stamp with I embossed in black and my sentiment but was stuck. So as I am sitting in the living room my son starts hollering from the bathroom that he is out of toilet paper. So I run it to him, but as I carry it, a small plan hatched. I grabbed my black ink and started to tear strips of toilet paper ink the edges by running it over my stamp pad then glueing it on so the card looks wrapped like a mummy. I love how it came out!
