Today I'm playing along with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge where they are looking for Funny/Punny. Their featured manufacturer is Riley and Company and while I do have several of their offbeat sentiments, in keeping with my NBUS resolution, I chose THREE ITEMS from my overflowing Bin of Shame for today's creation.
I purchased this trio of ghosts last fall while visiting the Enchanted Cottage in North Carolina. I may have also picked up the stamp set there as well. My buying is all a blur....
I began with the Distress Oxide blended background. I added black pigment ink to a 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutter, basically using it as a stamp. I stamped the spiders from the sentiment directly over top of the web. For something a bit unexpected I made my center ghost black with white and adhered him directly to the webbed background. The two white with black ghosties were popped up with foam squares. The sentiment was stamped in black pigment ink and then heat embossed in clear.
It feels great to be using my NBUS supplies, even if Halloween is months away. (I mailed out all my entire stash of Halloween cards last fall so this is a great start to rebuilding the category.)
Supplies:
Picket Fence - 3 Ghastly Ghosts (NBUS)
Poppystamps - Bugs and Hisses stamp set (NBUS)
Simon Says Stamp - Spooky Web 3D embossing folder (NBUS)
Thanks so much for visiting! Your time and comments are always appreciated.
