Today's Throwback Thursday has been in my head, pretty much since I decided to feature this particular set for three weeks in a row. I finally had the time to sit down and get it out of my head and into the real world! Yay! I think it turned out soooo cute! Take a look!
Eee! It just screams Halloween Cuteness to me!! And marrying it with a few newer sets just made it perfect.
I "white-washed" my Brick Wall Embossed background with a Sponge Dauber and the Craft Stampin' Ink in Whisper White. It really looks awesome and very "tomb-ish", if I do say so myself. I made an attempt to give my little Vampire Buddy a muted watercolored look, which looks better in person than in the photo, but, as they say---practice makes perfect. I just need to keep at my watercoloring skills!
As you know, I'm not a huge fan of fussy-cutting, but the little bats from the Cookie-Cutter Halloween Stamp Set screeched "cut me out!" so I did and then randomly placed them on the card with some Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I also fussy-cut my potion bottles (from the Spooky Cat Photopolymer Stamp Set) and used a Mini Stampin' Dimensional on them, too, for the table that is die cut from the Christmas Staircase Thinlits Dies. I see so much use of that table for many seasons to come!!!
I want to make so many more of these brick backgrounds! And potion bottles on tables! Haha! Share with me what you create and if you want to copy this design, here's what I used:
