Here we go. I have a SPOOKY tag for you today for the eighth day of the 31 Days of Halloween. I have been bopping around from blog to blog myself, and we have some really talented stampers participating in this giant hop. If you want to follow along you can find the blog roll on the right hand side of my blog and you can see just how involved this hop
Smeared Ink is hosting. Lots of prizes so check it out!
Boooooooo Tag
This image has an oddly sentimental meaning to me… my father helps me out cutting the wood in the stamp shop, and whenever this image is ordered he yells out "
SPOOKING IN A NIGHTSHIRT!" several times. I mean several. We used to have these great orders from Japan, and they would order dozens of these guys and we would always be a bit puzzled. Since then it has become one of my favorite images as well. So you might be seeing more of this guy during my wicked blogging.
I dabbed a little white gesso on the tag and let it dry. Then I stamped the
honeycomb around the edge in orange and black. Then I just stamped
SPOOKING IN A NIGHTSHIRT with the
Boooooo under it. The
bat was stamped, water colored and the glued on. I went around the eyed with black gelatos (I'm so into that for this hop!).
Another little funny bit about this image - I have asked my newsletter readers to create cards using this
stamp and send them to my dad for his birthday (Nov 4). We'll see if anyone takes the challenge (you are more than welcome to participate)! Just trying to have fun in this stamping world!
