Eyeball, anyone?

Yes....
the Halloween card making continues in my studio!
The truth is...
I am having too much fun creating Halloween cards...
I don't want to stop!
(so I'm haven't!)
and...
I just happened to have a stamp set ...with coordinating dies.... that I wanted to try out...
SO I thought...
okay..okay...
make ANOTHER Halloween card....
what the heck!

I actually used bits and pieces from 3 different stamp sets to create this card...
Stampin Up's Jar of Haunts
Stampin Up's Ghoulish Grunge
and..
Inkadinkado's Ghouls and Goblins.

I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to color the image.
and I applied the background color with Clarity Stencil brushes and ink pads.
The spider web is from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set..and seemed ideal of the corner of this card.
The jar was cut out with the matching die...and was positioned with foam dimensionals.
I stamped some extra eyeballs...cut them out with fine detail scissors.
I placed and stamped both sentiments using the MISTI ....
(Than goodness for the MISTI...
because I had to stamp and re-stamp the Trick or Treat sentiment 4 x's 
in order to get a dark solid image.
When the card was put together...
I added the 6 extra eyeballs....positioning them around the bottom of the jar...
and placing  the uppermost eyeball with foam dimensionals.
 The bottom-most print paper has a cob web print  all over it and seemed perfect for this card.
The image layer was matted with green and black mat layers...


and here's a close-up...
There's nothing like a jar of pickled eyeballs for Halloween!


I am still on my Halloween card-making roll....
and am having lots of fun 
enjoying each and every card that I've made.
and...
I am NOT promising that this is the last of the Halloween cards....
I'm just saying'...

Thanks for visiting today, my crafty friends....
wishing you a wonderful and creative day!
