Halloween Play Day

Check out my Stamp and Accessory Sale.

I have had a wonderful time today participating in the SCS Inspiration Challenge. CWD Kids’ Halloween clothing line was provided for inspiration and did I ever have lots of fun stamps to work with.  Rubbernecker has just released three fun new Halloween sets and I got all three of them in the mail yesterday when I got home from work.

I really enjoyed working this darling dragon suit and boy image.  I thought he needed to be shown walking along a sidewalk on his way to Trick or Treat.  I stamped the image on watercolor paper and then again on a scrap to have an additional dragon head and treat bag to pop up.  I painted the image, masked and sponged on a little grass and sidewalk area.  I used the grass sprig image from my Kittie Kits Outdoor Master to add texture to the grass and sponged in a blue sky area.  I cut the little boys face out of my second dragon head so when I popped it up it would have dimension. I made the frame with Nestabilities and then ran it through my crimper for added dimension. I love how the image pops out of the orange and green frame.

I stamped the pumpkin and kitty image on watercolor paper and then again on scrap paper so I could pop up the cat, tail and treats. I painted the images, sponged a little yellow highlight and then attached the additional images with glue dots.  I used Nestabilities to create the frame.  You can’t really tell in the photo but the background scalloped layer is partially crimped and added so much dimension. I used scalloped decorative scissors to cut around the sentiment layer so it would match the background scallops.

I tried my hand at Michelle Zindorf’s background technique.  I thought the big orange moon was perfect with the silhouette tree and bats. Don’t look too close but I stamped my bats upside down by accident and I wasn’t going to toss the project for that. I stamped the little witch, painted, cut out and popped up over the framed scene for a fun twist.  The scene is so dark and she is so bright and sweet.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend and have a great week.
