I've decided to use this stamp set to create treats for my kids classes for Halloween 'Owloween.  This fall I have 2 kids in school, and need to make twice as many goodies.  The treat tube was fun to put together, and I had some of the boxes from a previous campaign and scanned one and created my own file in Explore to cut the box out to hold the tube.  It is filled with purple and black jelly beans.  I used Black Pigment Ink to stamp all the images and heat set them before colouring.  I used the ShinHan Touch Twin Markers to colour them in.  The second treat is a bag topper, which is just a 3x5 piece of White Daisy CS scored at 2.5" and folded over and stapled to the bag.

Marker colours used:

Warm Grey WG7

Warm Grey WG4

Marigold YR24

G46 Vivid Green

P83 Lavender
