On the Fourth Day of Halloween...


My true love gave to me,


Four skeletons,


Three black cats,

Two trick or treaters

and an owl in a rotten oak tree.

I'm so excited to have been invited to participate in the fabulous 12 Days of Halloween Simply Betty Stamps event. Visit the SBS Blog to see the daily prizes up for grabs. Unlike last year when you had two or three days to complete your projects, this time around you have until the 30th of October to upload all your projects for all the 12 Days. Play a little, or play a lot. Of course each day will have it's own linky, and you must upload your projects accordingly. Each project must be a new project. On the 30th, all links will close, Betty and the DT will take one week to sort out the winners and announce them on Nov. 5th. There will be several winners, but one person that enters ALL 12 days and is best of the best will be chosen to be a part of the SBS DT for 2012!

I've used the fabulous Draco the Ghost Gent, one of the Steampunk Victorian Halloween stamps. Isn't he a dapper dude? He's colored with Copics and cut and matted with Nesties Mega Ovals. The skellies are a Tim Holtz stamp that I've heat embossed with white opaque embossing powder, fussy cut and arranged in an underlined "4". (Hope you caught that. I had an extra, what can I say? Personally I think Draco looks like a skellie but DH said no because he has a chin. HUH?)

They're popped for dimension as well as the fab Draco. the papers are DCWV Le Crema and K&Co. The little swirls on the corners are the off cuts from an EK Success border punch. The SBS DT has more gorgeous examples and there's plenty of time to catch up on the previous day's offerings as well. Visit the SBS Blog HERE to be amazed and inspired.

  8. Halloween ideas are all part of fiction, i think it doesn't have any positive effect children thoughts unless it always keep them live in an imaginary world.

  9. Wooohoooo we are finally working together (sort of) I have been invited too! Such a great job with the skeletons. Loving what you did with Draco. DH is semi-right, a chin can not be sustained by a skellie when putting on a victorian scarfy looking tie and vest. Lol. So funny. x

  16. GREAT CARD, and I love the 12 Days verse, too cute! I think he is part skellie, part ghoul! After all, those pants wouldn't hang the same way if there were only bones in there, lol! Love the skellie 4, it's all in the details! The monochrome grays really work too, and I love Betty's Steampunk characters. I have the other two sets, love them!
