Frankenstein Fun

Hi everybody!

Today’s card is a fun one. Every year I get Halloween stamps and then never find the time to make cards with them. When I saw this little Frankenstein from The Alley Way Stamps I had to fit it in.

So Frankie is done in the No Line Watercolor style using Distress Inks. I had a bit of trouble getting those tiny little fingers to look right. But now I think he looks like he is dancing.  Isn’t he cute?

I created the lines on his pants by gently scraping the watercolor paper (Strathmore hot press) with the sharp tip of my Pick-Me-Up tool. Then added another wash of color and it collects in the lines. So much easier than trying to paint them on.

I may try to locate some challenges to enter him into. If you have any ideas please leave me a comment.

All of the stamps are from the ghoul-friend set from TheAlley Way Stamps.

The shaker bits are from Lucy’s Cards. I love the little ghosties in the mix.

A little black Wink of Stella to accentuate his spikey hair. And Sakura Black Glaze Pen on his beady little eyeballs.

All cardstock is from Simon Says Stamp. Designer paper is from my old stash.

I'm working on getting proper product linking set up. And fine tuning the blog and my social media stuff.
