A "Thriller" Card Playgroup!!

On the second Sunday of each month I get together with a great group of ladies to create cards. It is our Cards & More Playgroup!  We truly have an enjoyable afternoon creating, eating, and catching up! Out hostess this month was Melody and she treated us to a "Thriller" of a spread!  Here are a few pictures of the fun Halloween display that Melody created.  It went so well with the Stamp of the Month, Thriller!

Here is a close up of the "finger" sandwiches!

How about some "Mummy" cupcakes??

The Thriller Stamp of the Month is only available until September 30th so be sure to get yours in time to make  your Halloween cards and layouts! These are the cards I created using Thriller. 

The "ribbon" in this card is not ribbon at all!  It is a strip of B&T paper from the Hooligans Level 2 paper pack that is folded to appear ribbon-like.  On the right is a close-up of the paper ribbon.  The card also uses the black embossing powder on the main image.

For the second card, I cut out the skull and colored the area around the skull using chalk!  I used a sponge dauber to add the black ink around the cut out image.  I love the effect!  

 

Here is a close up of the chalking done on the skull: 

To get your "Thriller" September Stamp of the Month place your order by September 30th. You can get it discounted or even FREE- ask me how!  If you are interested in any of the display items that Melody used for her Thriller display such as the French Wire Three Tiered Stand and the Red Cinnabar Casserole, visit her Willow House website at http://mrush.willowhouse.com.

Happy Creating!!
