It seems as though I'm mixing Halloween and Christmas makes. I can't help it, it's however I feel that day. But it's October, so if I'm going to make Halloween cards, I only have a little bit of time left!
Today I'm using Mr Bones from the Sizzix Vault Fright + Bones set by Tim Holtz. I wanted to use the spiders I have from other sets, isn't the big one so good? I thought it'd be funny to have the spiders coming out of an envelope scaring Mr Bones. The large spider is layered 3 times and then I put some Glossy Accents over it to give it shine.
I was taking this photo and looked down and there was a spider crawling on my leg! I think I did scream and brush it off of me. Life does imitate art.
The background you're going to see over and over as I am on my last few drops of this Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain. It no longer sprays as there is so little left in the bottle so I've been putting it on a craft mat and pulling paper through it over and over. If you dry in between layers, you'll get all the pretty drips and drops on the Mixed Media paper. I love this color! I added a few drops of Jack-o-Lantern Mica Stain just for a bit of color variation.
I cut the envelope and the EEK from some printed cardstock. It's no longer available that I can see, its Tim Holtz's Idea-o-logy Abandoned Paper. I hoarded 2 packs and use it sparingly.
I stamped a bit of script with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink. I like the way it fills in some of the empty space.
That's all for today! Hurry up and get creative with your Halloween dies, not much time this month left.
