October Dirty Dozen Challenge and MORE Blog Candy!!!

Published by inkypaws at 8:36 am under High Hopes

It’s time for the October Dirty Dozen/ Dirty Dozen Alumni Challenge!

And…keep reading for a chance to win some High Hopes Rubber Stamps Blog Candy!

Every month the SCS Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni get together for a challenge. This month’s challenge is:

Challenge Focus: Create a Halloween card or treat holder.

Required Element: Googlie Eyes!

Restricted Element: No pumpkins!

Check out the other girls cards —>HERE

I chose this fun Pirate image from High Hopes because I thought he’d make a good Trick or Treater. I made a mask by cutting a circle from a piece of copy paper and sponged the moon with So Saffron ink. I then covered the moon section with the cut out circle and sponged the sky with Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender ink. The grass was sponged with Peeled Paint ink.

The pirate and the candy bucket (I drew that) were colored with Copic markers and cut out. I removed his sword so he could carry the candy bucket.

    I’m always amazed at your cards, but your ability to “bring to life” the focal of your cards….your use of the markers, the shading etc. You really need to create some tutorials…or do you give classes? Love that pirate!

    I am blown away by the sheer brilliance of this card. Sometimes I forget how flexible stamps are. YOu get in a habbit of using them as is, yet when start and have only a few stamps you are always trying to extend the use of your stamps. Thanks for reminding me how flexible stamping is.
    Have a great day.

    Your talent never ceases to amaze me. What a fun idea for a google eye challenge. : ) Love your bucket you drew too.
