Artist Trading Cards Frankie Series 1

 The October ATC swap at Wishful Thinking in October is "Monsters," so I decided to do the most popular monster ever - Frankenstein's monster; in this case little Frankie.  Made with Sizzix die: Costume Party 665555.  They are all pretty much the same except for the verses that came from the Tim Holtz Ideaology Halloween booklet. 

The other verses I chose were:  "I heard footsteps behind me"  "a laboratory"  "A Strange Visitor"  "sometime in the middle of the night"  "he gives me the creeps"  "charged with foreboding"   and the one here "the creature obsessed me"    

I hope my swap partners like them!

Mintay Halloween Trading Cards - Monsters

 These were made using the Mintay Halloween Book 2024 images. The backgrounds are a combination of collage, cardstock and Distress Inks.

Halloween Wall Hanging

 I made this little wall hanging for Angelina at work.  

It has a distress ink background. 

The Sizzix die sets used to piece this together were:

Moonlight 666386 for the moon and bats.

Mr. Bones 665554 for the skeleton and large tombstone

Vault Fright Night 666684 for the small tombstones and the wispy clouds

Graveyard 666383 was used for the fencing and flowerpot.

Gate Keeper 664734 was used for the large gate Mr. Bones is walking out of.

I hope she likes it!

Artist Trading Cards -- TriggMo Bird Series

    The point of these cards was for me to practice making Distress Ink backgrounds.  I don't have a lot of Distress colors, so a lot of them are very similar.  I topped the backgrounds with TriggMo images.  I don't know if these actually qualify as ATC's, but they are the right size; so, that is what I am calling them.

Be True to You

Mood

I was trying to get the background to match the yellow/brownish circle around his eye -- couldn't get it quite right:

Mannerless

I can't help how I look.

It's always the innocent looking one.

Crazy

Sergeant

Drinker

Fab

Sorry

I had a lot of fun experimenting with the distress ink backgrounds.  I hope to do it again soon.
