It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is THRILLER . . .
It's September and that means a NEW Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month and I truly think this is one of my all-time favorites. It's called (as if you didn't get it yet) "Thriller."
There are over 60 consultants in this month's blog hop, so I hope you visit them and get inspired. I can't wait to see what everyone's come up with! If you are already hopping along, you came here from Carla Ironside's blog. Keep on reading and see where to go next.
Meanwhile, stick around a few minutes and check out my creations with "Thriller." I'm somewhat of a Halloween freak. I love to dress up, love to decorate, and have such great memories of Halloween as a kid. I have always gotten into it. And this Thriller set is so cool and creepy but fun and flourishy too. It's great!
For this tag I pulled a Tim Holtz and rubbed my Autumn Terracotta stamp pad directly over the tag which was cut from Honey cardstock. Just messy and carefree. For the frame stamp, I cut the little cartoon dracula guy right out of the stamp because I liked the frame so very much on its own. Then with a masking technique, stamped the skull inside the frame and inked to fill in the rest.
For my card I used textured cardstock in Desert Sand and Bamboo and lots of distressing with inks and tearing to achieve the look I wanted. The center image is embossed with black. The "ha-ha" paper is from our new Hooligans paper pack. All those random stamped flourishes are from the Thriller stamp set too.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you leave a comment! Now hop on over to Kimberly Smith's blog for more creative ideas with "Thriller."
