September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

This month is a scary stamp set called THRILLER! 

I usually don't buy things with skulls, but this was too darn cute.

Sorry if my pictures are a little fuzzy - the camera doesn't like the clear cards.

First of all the white spot is from my camera and the lights - can't get rid of that - sorry.   I used a clear square card and stamped the image on the card in black and again on white paper with red ink to give it a 3D Glasses effect and stagered the images so that they didn't line up perfectly - I don't think the picture shows the 3d Glasses effect that very well. I sanded the purple textured paper, tore it and used a black marker along the edge. I cut out the red heart and glued it on top of the card - it's the only piece of paper on the outside.

On the inside I stamped the edges with the skull stamp but I turned it upside down so that only the scrolls showed up on the edges.  I tore the edge of the white paper and then took a black ink pad and ran it along the torn edges.

Did you know you can get this for free?

Ok, so you don't see the cute critter? Well, I'm hiding him. I used our new Clear Cards Z1309 (scalloped Circle Card) and made it look like "Blue Skies". The words are from Over the Rainbow stamp set D1426. The sun is a big cheater (discontinued) August Word Puzzle - had to use it, didn't know it was sooo cute and the smiley face could be removed!!!
I stamped the yellow sun first, then I inked the outline
without the smiley face in Orange ink and rocked it in the Holiday Red ink
to give it 2 colors. I turned the stamp a little and off set the lines.
Here's the inside! The sun was hiding the little guy! That's what I love about these clear cards, you can see thru with somethings and hide other objects
There's a hidden "joke". Hope no-one gets mad at me!

"Life is Good" came from the Treetops Stamp Set C1368.

I used foam squares to make the clouds stand out.

I stamped the little guy in Stazon Ink onto the card,

then onto the Splendor B&T Paper (it's brown flecks on it)

The cloud paper is also from the Splendor Level 2 Kit.

I used cardstock for the balloons and cut them out.

Everything is glued to the front except for the cloud paper,

that's glued onto the back of the card.

Ok, head over to Angela Tutton's blog and keep checking this great card set.
