Foolish Mortals

Hey there!  Happy Sunday.  It is super hard to believe Halloween is just around the corner, that is usually busy season for me.  Throw in some birthdays with the onslaught of holidays and there is no breathing room.  Not sure what Halloween will look like this year in the USA, since we have done a poor job managing Covid-19.  We shall see.... 

Meanwhile, how about we just get our spook on?  Today's card features items from the new Whimsy Stamps release. 



It is straight from a classic horror flick.  Which reminds me, I miss going to the movies!  Anyhoo...

Here is how I made this one: 

I started by die cutting the Slimline Film Strip Die in black.  Then I die cut some of the new Vampire Paper to fit in the squares on each end.  The great thing about the DP is that the scene is already set for you, easy peasy!  I placed these on a dark grey base.  Then I stamped out some images from the new set Screams in Vein and colored them with my Copics.  I used a pale green for my vampire because that was just too fun (R37, R35, R14, RV42. E00, E02. E33, E35, E37, C7, C7, Y13, Y15, BV17, BV08, YG11, YR13, BG45).  I used foam to place my images.  Then in the center square I stamped "your screams are in vien" and added the die cut Foolish Mortals in sparkly red paper. Lastly, I added a few bats to the center square.  Viola!



The last square is honestly my fave.  Although I say film strip, it feels straight out of a comic book.  I love Deb's artwork here.  You might notice that I made his eyes a little bloodshot too. lol


Well I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed making it. Check out the Whimsy Stamps shop for the new release!
