... where does the time go?! Christmas cards one post... Hallloween the next :) For those of you who don't know, I am the Halloween Queen. My house always has a bit of Halloweenie-ness goin' on, decor wise... I've got quite the collection workin'. 
So, from time-to-time, I'll throw a little card creepiness out year-round... that's just how I roll ;)Remember when I said I wanted to color that little owl from the Bird Cage set with minereal oil & Prismacolors... well, here he is! He turned out pretty wicked-cool if I may say.
Stamps: Bird Cage, Fresh Air Favorites (retiring!!! grab this now!), Glitter GoblinsPaper: Bazzill Mono-Oranges, Bazzill Mono-Greens, Natural cs, White UltraSmooth cs, and misc. dark brown cs
Ink: VersaMark, Burnt Umber Palette
Other: Antique Copper Hardware, Crystal Laquer, Prismacolors & mineral oil blending, foam tape
I love distressing paper for extra Halloweenie-ness... no pristine princess in this house {well, not right now} ;) And you know what else I love... foam tape and pop dots!! Almost everything I do has those little guys on it.
The eyeballs are my favorite part of this card... how funny does that sound? Anyhoo... {get it... any-HOO... ya' know, like the sound an owl makes ;) ...
...

... why no, I DON'T get out much}
ANYWAY, Crystal Laquer is the schizz-nit for eyeballs (stamping images, that is)! Not to mention goggles, sunglasses, fingernails, window panes, crystal balls, water... limitless possibilities, baby!
What do you think?
