Odds 'n' ends...

Here's a real hodgepodge of things to post today. I did the cards this morning, but the little Frankenstein goodie box was done awhile ago. Instructions for it are found here: http://chicnscratch.typepad.comstampinacademy/2008/09/frankenstein-bo.html


This one is a lift from one I saw on the Creating Keepsakes website this morning at 3:30 AM, when I couldn't sleep. Something about it just appealed to me, so I had to recreate it (after I finally went back to bed and slept a little longer).

What I used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
Everlasting B&Ts and Evensong B&T
Desert Sand C/S
CTMH Twill ribbon
Cranberry brads
Definitely Decorative Pines (SU)
Many Merry Messages (SU)
Pop dots (other)
Black, New England Ivy and Chocolate inks


This one I started by using a 1" circle punch for a mask for the moon, and onto a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of White Daisy C/S I brayered on Crystal Blue ink. I took off the mask, then I stamped on the trees and then the moose in Black ink. I tore a piece of scrap cardstock and masked off the sky and sponged on the Black ink for the ground. Then I took a different sponge and sponged on Star Spangled Blue ink, leaving the lighter shade of Crystal Blue showing more around the moon. Lastly, I took a white gel pen and tried my best to highlight where the moonlight would shine.
