You're not normal...

Hello!

I'm up on the Blogabella today with my final Halloween card of the year. Looking through my stamps I realized that these fun Oddball Spooky Kids were still waiting to be inked up, so I remedied that situation with this spooky faux post card scene.

The Oddball Spooky Kids come as a set of three stamps; Wednesday, Pugsley and Thing. This gave me just what I needed for both the main characters and the decoration of the faux postage stamp. I stamped the creepy kiddos side by side then colored them in a nearly monochromatic palette that suited their gloomy nature. Once the coloring was complete, I masked off the kids, postage stamp and space that says 'post card' so that I could use my Copic airbrush system to spray on the dark background color. Next, I embellished the background by dipping a q-tip into some colorless blender salution and added the fuzzy spots cascading across the card. From there all I had to do was add the various postage themed accents and a pair of older sentiments to complete this spooktacular Halloween themed 'post card'.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!
