I stamped the skeleton (from the Tim Holtz Mini Hallowe'en 2 set) and then masked it (masking seems to be may favourite technique lately, don't know what's got into me!). The halequin background (turned sideways) came next - I used London Fog Memento ink on the stamp at the edge and Tuxedo Black for the rest so it would look as if it were receding into the distance. Then I masked that bit and stamped the background pattern.
Leaving ALL the masks in place, I coloured the background (Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge DI, with Frayed Burlap to add shading). Then I took the mask away and lightly shaded the skeleton with the ink left on my splodge mat, then added in more shading with a cut & dry nib.
The Famous Last Words were just printed out and distressed, and then cut with a Spellbinders die, as was the frame. And, quite suddenly, it was complete. I do hope you like it. Thank you for calling, and do come again!
