I know we are only in August, but Halloween is popping up everywhere! I am normally the cutesy Halloween gal, but I have to admit, I really loved working with these creepy images!
Whimsy Stamps has done it again!
I've gone to the dark side! LOL.
For my first card I knew I had to use this clown....because what is scarier than a clown? It is part of the Creepy Carnival Midway Tickets stamp set. I colored him in with colored pencils and then cut him out. I added a tiny red ball from my stash for his nose.
I framed him using the Forever Cameo set. I inked it up and then used a generous amount of crackle paste. Once it was dry, I added some black distress crayon to the cracks. I backed the frame with the black and white striped paper from the Vintage Carnival paper pack. I layered the clown, frame, and striped paper. The background was done using the checked paper from the same paper pack. I grunged it up a bit with inks and splatter. I used the Creepy Carnival tickets stamps and dies to layer over the background. I added a few stars and a large arrow from the Build a Marquee die set. As a final touch I added some tea stained mummy cloth by tucking it haphazardly behind the frame.
The little red ball was a perfect fit for his nose!
My second card uses most of the products mentioned above. I stamped the image and colored it with colored pencils. I splattered the background and stamped the sentiment. The frame was from the same paper pack and I added grit paste to it after inking it with brown ink. I had a bought a bag of Styrofoam bones at the dollar store and inked it up a bit with brown ink. I added the bone and some ribbon to the bottom of the card.
Thank you for stopping by today!!
