Sandra<\/a> is in full Halloween mode and made a card using the Professor stamp set<\/a> and transforming him into a creepy vampire. She used Distress Ink Ripe Persimmon<\/a>, Rusty Hinge<\/a> and Black Soot<\/a>, and Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke<\/a> to create the background and used Distress Reinkers<\/a> to color the Professor in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoey <\/a>used tons of Distress Paint <\/a>to create the background of this tag.
