A spooky tree indeed. How do you do that technique. Is that etched int a black paper, or done with ink?

It is basically a thick cardboard surface that has had a white clay applied to it. You can then ink over the entire surface or draw with a pen/brush with india ink. Then you use a scratching tool to cut into the ink to reveal the white. You can also always ink back into it...rinse repeat. If you try it I suggest Esdee brand scratchboard. Reasonable price and has a nice surface that accepts ink well and scratches easily.
