Hump Day Hop- A Very Skelly Halloween!

It's time for another fabulous Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop. You should have arrived here from the beautiful Alison's blog. If you did, you're on the right track! If you didn't, go back to the Bombshell Stamps' Blog to start the hop at the beginning. There are just too many fabulous things for you to miss any!!

Here's what our Hump Day Hottie, Alison challenge us with this month:

Hello, Alison here. It's October! It's October! My very most favorite month of the year! Can you tell I'm excited??? So...what's this month's Bombhsell Hump Day Hop Theme? Let me start off by saying I was really happy to see that last month's hop had so many Halloween projects in it. This helped in my decision as to what the October hop would be. Without further adieu, this month's theme is...Halloween of course! But...it's with a twist. You must include skeletons or a skull or bones in/on it somewhere. You can use any of the numerous Bombshell Stamps skeletons, or you can create your own. Just make sure you get your Bombshell Stamps in there somewhere! You may also create a Day of the Dead project for this hop. Like last month, I encourage you to make a decoration as opposed to a card, but this is not mandatory.

Well, since I'm not good at making anything other than a card, I decided to stick with what I know best- and I made a card:

My card is 5 x 7" (I found a bunch of envelopes left over from a previous event that a 5 x 7" card will fit perfectly into!) I used Bombshell's Muertos Doll Digital Stamps, colored him slightly using my C1 Cool Gray Copic Marker, and then cut him out and popped him up on the card using dimensionals. I printed a second image and cut only his head out and popped his head up using dimensionals as well. The playing cards are cut from a 12 x 12" piece of Halloween patterned paper from Making Memories' Toil and Trouble pack. It's an odd little card but I'm liking it a lot! I hope you do, too!!

Now head on over to the super talented Glittery Katie's blog to check out her Skelly card. If you get lost along the way, go back to the Bombshell Stamps' Blog to pick up where you left off. Have fun and watch out for those skeletons!!!

Papers: Basic Black (Stampin' Up), Neenah 80# white, skeleton and card patterned papers from the Toil and Trouble Halloween Pack (Making Memories), dimensionals, Copic Markers, decorative scissors (ProvoCraft), sentiment is computer generated
