Use Memento Black Ink & a Foam Dauber to color the white edges of your box & base so that it flows nicely with the black cauldron theme.
Foam Dimensionals: Layering your stamped elements with foam dimensionals adds depth and makes your cauldron scene more dynamic.
Mix and Match: Pair the Potions & Spells Bundle with other Halloween-themed stamps and dies in your stash for endless design possibilities.
