Free week-end to treat myself to some challenges over on Paper Craft Planet. I love doing Lyn's challenges in the Clean and Simple and Anything But Cute groups. It's been a while despite my best intentions. Apparently I am also caught up in horror of horrors a "cute" cycle. I honestly didn't realize just how many cute images I have produced until I started working on the Anything But Cute challenges for October. This post shows my attempt at the 2nd weeks challenge of making a pumpkin or Halloween card. I really had to hunt for an image in my stash for this one. Disturbing how many cute monster type things I own....
Supplies:
and
Pretty simple, stamp, color and cut. Background paper created by ... me of course. Glossy paper, alcohol inks and a little spray webbing.
Mounted on orange card - I liked on just plain orange card but for the challenge I thought it needed a little more. I think I was wrong but can't change it now. Skull/cross bone heart stamped with a "dirty" stamp as in not thoroughly cleaned and VersaMark ink. Anybody wonder why her arm is missing and off to the right?
Yes, I neglected to mention it is a mechanical stamp. Hope you enjoy the finished product.
and mask down...
Haven't left a parting quote in a while so here we go:
“I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.”

ohhhh, I'm scared! Take it away!
ReplyDeleteI just love the background paper you made. Any tutorials on the agenda?
ReplyDeleteHauntingly beautiful. Don't you just love that spray webbing? I've never seen a "mechanical" stamp like that before -- very inventive. I'm sure Lyn is going to like your creation as much as I do!
ReplyDeleteOk I love your card... but I do not know what Spray Webbing is.... can you explain to me...after all I am only a DOLT!
ReplyDeleteLove it though...did you use the Versa Mark to stamp over with colored ink?
Let us know... :)
Smiles!

Oh wow! B, this is truly exquisite, and I love the mechanical arm! LOL! so (dare I say it) cute!
ReplyDeleteReally, you should put more tutorials up. You're such a master at using so many different techniques.
Yep what they all said. This is cute in a creepy kind of way. Spray webbing is new to me too but I like the effect on that inked background.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, B...it is certainly one of your creations that really comes alive. I adore how you can take the oddest cards and turn them into art. You're my hero! :-) Come and play soon!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the arm movement on the card--very cool.
ReplyDeleteSpray webbing gotta get some of that stuff
