Frightfully Fun

Following on from the dragon-mouse of my last post, I'm adding a vampire-mouse to the menagerie. This little cutie is the epitome of sartorial splendour and on his way to some frightfully fun shenanigans, no doubt - at the Blood Bank, perhaps? 😜 

Isn't he adorable? There's two layers to 'fright', of course, and I inked a little behind that and the mouse for a bit of shading. And on the inside:

Materials used:

• stamps - Ghostly Greetings (Catherine Pooler)
• dies - Little Mouse, Halloween Costumes Scary (both Elizabeth Crafts), Vault Gothic Portraits (Tim Holtz), Capsule Basics (The Greetery)
• other - blending brushes, paper from Etsy, foam squares, Big Shot

Inspired by and created for the following challenges:

Two Old Bats challenge - anything Halloween

Colourful Options challenge (red, black, white, orange)

Just Us Girls challenge (die week - Halloween)

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie challenge

Die Cut Divas challenge - shaped cards (no squares or rectangles)

Thanks for swooping by!

Trick or Treat

Having grandchildren is a wonderful excuse to make cutesy cards and though my grandbabies are a little too young still to appreciate them, I don't let that deter me! 😂 Today's card is one such, featuring an adorable wee mouse dressed as a dragon for the all-important trick-or-treating.

All the die pieces were cut from white and coloured with inks. For my background I masked the moon and blended oxide inks around it then stencilled the shading and a touch of a pattern for added interest. 

Materials used:

• dies - Little Mouse, Halloween Costumes Cute (both Elizabeth Craft), sentiment from stash
• stencils - moon mask, Gothic (both Tim Holtz)
• other - distress and oxide inks, water sprtizer, Big Shot, blending brushes, foam squares
