I'm running a bit late, but I have somethin' cool to share. This week the Macabre Monday challenge is a recipe . I'll just put it out there, that I suck with recipes.

Begin with 2 layers (actual card counts as one layer) Add  1 main image panel                   Mix in some metal bits of your choosing Add some drops of black pearls Gently fold in  1 punched element Tie up nicely wit...
