Mummies and Spiders and Skulls, Oh My!

It’s officially the start of the 13 Days of Halloween festivities at Simply B Stamps where there are 13 fun challenges posted over October, all with a suitably gruesome Halloween theme.  The first one was to “make your own Creepy Background” and here is my effort featuring one from the vault, Jude Mummified, from the Teen Scene Halloween 2012 collection.

 

I’ve made an ATC, which will go onto a layout in a Halloween album I’m putting together, more on that later in the month.  To do up my background I’ve used some paper tape, distressed some cardstock and stamped on an image from IndigoBlu.  I really like how this turned out, especially how the spider is only just creeping on to the page, pretty nifty placement given it is a rubber stamp (no seeing where the image is located) and I stamped after I distressed.

To make up my ATC I followed the sketch at Feeling Sketchy, I swapped out the chevrons at the bottom for my sentiment sticker.  As this is going to a boy this Halloween I hope it is suitably male enough for the C...is for Challenge current challenge and, as a mummy is a mythical being (at least a walking one is) I’m also linking it up at Cards for Men.
