Morning Stampers! Thank you ALL for joining in with last weeks challenge... more gorgeously lush artwork to see on my travels :O)) This week, as promised... it's time for a fun challenge... so... you probably guessed from the title... the theme is... BONES/SKELETONS. Yes, I have embraced all things Hallowe'en this year and gone... erm... a bit mental with all the skelingtons and spookiness!
I have made a little folding book from a sheet of 12" sq paper... from Mr Holtz's Vintage Shabby stack... colouring with DI's and then adding some coloured in Witch images from the new Hallowe'en set.
I made three tags to go into the folded book... made a complete hash of the gluing of the folds.. erm.. I ended up gluing the top of the fold instead of the bottom... so I had to prize the whole lot apart and start again LOL
The cover of the book is actually made up from strips of the new Hobgoblin Tissue Tape.. .and yes, I didn't need this when it first came out... now, I cannot think of a thing to make without it ROFL I used just three DI colours; Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord and Aged Mahogany and added on stamping in Black Soot. The cat is stamped twice in Black Soot and embossed with clear powder, then I cut into him and made him 3d with his head, back legs and tail... then popped this onto silicone glue for more 3D-ness
I had another mishap when making the last skelington... stamped in white paint onto Grungepaper and then clear embossed.. I was being so careful cutting around him to make sure he was neat... yep, that was good... then, colouring in the edges with Black Soot and a blending tool... whoooops, off came his head... so I figured he might like to be twizzeling his head on his finger, basketball styleee... well it is meant to be spooky! :O))
So, to join in with the challenge, all you need to do is make a piece of artwork - cards, tags, altered art, ATC's - whatever you fancy making... include the theme and some stamping... leave a comment for me here with a link to the place you are showing your entry and I will hop on over to see you. The challenge will remain open until 21:00 Saturday October 23rd '10. I am off to make more Hallowe'eny stuff now... thanks for looking and have a FAB day! TTFN

OMG, this tiny tag book is indescribably cool! I never thought of making a tag holder from a 12 x 12. Clever. Now you're off decapitating Mr. Skels, there are no mistakes in art! lol I thought I had finished my Halloween tags-all 30 of 'em- now I'll have to go back and make MORE. TFS

These are just great. I can relate to chopping the heads of things. In fact anything that has a narrow bit I need to cut round usually ends up being chopped off!

When I saw this cute book, my favorite part was the tag with the head-holding skeleton. I thought, "How genius of Hels to cut off his head and put it in his hand!" When I read that it was a mistake I had to laugh. It was just one of those "happy" accidents that turned out even better that originally planned! You always make your mistakes AMAZING!!! LOVE IT!
Love the chopped off head.. Brilliant.. I am hoping to find time to enter :))
Hugs x
