Tick Tock - Skeletons and Skulls

The Compendium of Curiosities 3 - Challenge #10 is the Assemblage Clock. Linda Ledbettter at Studio L3 hosts the challenges; you can visit her site and take a look.  The Funkie Junkie Boutique is sponsoring this challenge and giving a $25 gift certificate.

The assemblage clock project comes from p.33 of Tim's book and the rules state you must have a copy of his book to enter the challenge.   

Here's a look at my project:








Since I love, love Halloween, it just made sense to create something I could use for the spookiest day of the year.

The background was cut from the Laboratories Paper Stash. 









Here's the background before going into the clock shell. You can see the details a little better here. 


A filmstrip was added with images of ghosts from the past. Texture paste was used with the Halloween stencil THS027. The spider from CMS198 was stamped and embossed. One of the crossbones was dabbed with white distress paint then added to the background.





Can you see the rest of the tiny crossbones lying on the bottom? A few of the skulls are raising their heads trying to look out.








Here's a side pic of the clock, now you can see the detail in the tissue tape and the trim added from the Industrious Stickers.





For the ribbon on top, I used Tim's paper string. I cut some of the loops and unraveled the string then added a token that had been painted white and rubbed off. The handle, feet and black cat were painted with distress ink then glittered with black soot distress glitter.





The skeleton's hands were cut from the same sheet of paper as the body and added to the outside with a little glossy accents and more tissue tape. You can see he is holding a ghostly image of himself framed from Industrious Stickers. The mini lantern is just too cute and perfect for Halloween.



Thanks for the challenge - Judy.

Magic of Oz G45 Cards

Most of my Magic of Oz cards are ready. I used Graphic 45 "Magic of Oz" paper for the cards and the coordinating stamps. This was so much fun and I had the dolls when McDonalds gave them as toys in the Happy Meals a few years ago.


Toto, Dorothy's little dog.



I also used Spell Binders dies to cut out the ovals and other shapes on the cards.

The lion just needs a little courage.


The scarecrow needs a brain.



Thanks for stopping by to see my Magic of Oz cards and characters. - Judy
