Haunted Halloween

Happy Wednesday!  Time for a funkie challenge reveal on the Frilly and Funkie Challenge blog!  The challenge this time is "Haunted Halloween" hosted by none other than the talented Jenny Marples!

Here is how she describes the challenge:

" It's time to get your freak on and go all out for Halloween. We want to see your ghouls and ghosts and things that go bump in the night. It's going to be spooktacular!!!"

How can you resist that!  Especially with Halloween just around the corner.

I have been waiting to use the new Mr. Bones set from Stampers Anonymous and pulled out the skull to ink up first!

I have so many different backgrounds laying around from various projects that I try to use them whenever I can.  This particular scrap was for a project for my daughter and she didn't like the effect.  I kind of thought Day of the Dead and would work well with Mr. Bones.

I added a touch of script on the top half of the page with the stamp inked up once and stamped many times to get the uneven faint script.

I then stamped Mr. Bones and embossed him in black embossing powder.  I added highlights with a gold gel pen.

I then stamped the banner and the circle frame on white cardstock with black ink.  They also were embossed with black embossing powder.

I used a leftover rosette from my witch's wand project.  I stamped the number 31 using gold ink and outlined with a watercolor pencil. I stamped the circle around the numbers and cut out with a die.

When I had the top half of the card laid out I realized I needed something on the bottom. Lucky for me I had a ton of remnant rubs for halloween with the different sized spiders which creepily crawl along the bottom half of my card.

I hope this has inspired you to get your haunt on!  Come play along with us!  The winner will earn the chance of a Guest Designer spot at Frilly and Funkie, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. And there are Top 3 Badges for three further outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team!

Happy haunting!
