The Original Corpse Bride

Here is my card for the latest challenge over at the Burtonesque Dolls.
The challenge was "Corpse Bride", and my immediate reaction was to pull this stamp out.
I bought this image a while back from Stamp it Crazy, and intended to use it for a friend's bridal shower. However, I opted against it because sometimes my sense of humor is not funny to the masses, or the insecure, or the easily offended.
Unfortunately, my friend's fiance (now husband), fits a few of those examples, so 
I decided to make a 'nice' wedding card instead.
Boring.
     
But, the idea and the theme is perfect for the challenge!
I have had this Frankenstein stamp for ages and never seem to use it enough.
Plus, I decided to use as much of the creepy ribbon as I can before every card on these challenges has it on them!
I previously divulged my source for the ribbon, and when I went to order some last week, the company was completely OUT!
Me thinks there is a conspiracy afoot!
