Candy Monster

Hello Stampers~

Welcome to another fine Monday! :)  Today I've got a fun Halloween sample to share with you.  I used the Little Boogas set from Our Craft Lounge...too stinkin' ADORABLE!

The sketch is this week's OCL sketch challenge, which you can play along with until Friday.  It was a fun and easy sketch to work with!

I added some eyes to the three eyeballs with black rhinestones.  Martha Stewart's Spider Web Border Punch and distressed edges complete the theme.

Here's a close up view for you:

The monster costume was ridiculously fun to color!  I colored him in using my tried-and-true Copic markers.  Here are the colors I chose:

I do hope today will be the start to a fantastic week for you, my friends!

Thanks so very much for stopping by to visit!

Hugs,

~Cindy

Hello Stampers~

Today I have a simple Halloween card to share with you.  The only stamping on this one is from SU's Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  I just picked up this awesome spider punch from Martha Stewart, which combines perfectly with her Spider Web Border Punch.  

I punched the spider out of black cardstock, added Glossy Accents, and sprinkled on some Eyeliner Black Crafty Sparkles from Our Craft Lounge.  Some orange rhinestone "eyes" and a bit of button thread finished off the look nicely. :)

Here's a close-up view of that awesome spider: 

Isn't that a great punch?!

I hope you have a FABULOUS day today, my friends!  Thanks for visiting with me! :)

Hugs,
