Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challege #683

 Good Morning, Stampers!

This week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge is Simple Stamping! This spooky-cute spins a little magic from the Web of Fun bundle from the Online Exclusives Collection.  I wanted something that felt both eerie and fun— a starry night sky dotted with paint‑splatter “stars,” a silvery web glistening in the moonlight, and a friendly spider dangling below. The trio of die‑cut BOO sentiments adds playful pops of color that make the design come alive! 

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Web of Fun

Ink: Craft White

Paper: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive

Accessories: Water Painter, Web of Fun dies
