"Boo?" "Whoo?"

Patiently waited for the UPS man to show up yesterday with my order from Stampin' Up!. I was afraid it had been rescheduled because I hadn't seen it all day. Finally at 6:32 PM it was delivered. I've NEVER received a delivery that late, wow ! I hoped it would be here early enough to work on the project I had in mind. It's one of those "It is a neat idea in my mind, but will I be able to make it work the way I want to" projects....... inspired by several punch art projects, I wanted to make something for display. So I spent the morning today trying to bring it to life and here it is; it turned out okay (the photos leave a lot to be desired though)








All supplies are from Stampin' Up!



Stamps:

Vine jumbo - wheel

Stipple Plaid - background

Teeny Tiny Wishes





Punches:

Two Step Owl Extra Large - for owl and ghost

Butterfly Extra Large- for pumpkin vine leaves; I timmed the lower portion of the wing off to create the leaves, but they could easily be cut freehand

Small Oval - for pumpkin

1" Circle - for pumpkin



Card Stock:

Chocolate Chip textured - owl; pumpkin stems

Early espresso - owl tummy

Basic Black - owl and ghost eyes

Whisper White - ghost; owl eyes

Pumpkin Pie - pumpkins and the "ribbon" on the roll

Always Artichoke - field, vines, leaves

Summer Sun - owl beak



Ink: mostly used for sponging on the edges of the punched pieces

Going Gray - ghost

Early Espresso - owl

Whisper White Craft - owl

Pumpkin Pie - pumpkins; stamped Stipple Plaid for ribbon

Always Artichoke - vine wheel

Basic Black - to stamp Happy Halloween



Extras:

cardboard ribbon roll - love finding new uses for "trash"

acrylic craft paint - to paint the rim inside the roll

twig - and a real spider web attached!

craft pellets or sand to weight down the cardboard roll

adhesives

scissors

tweezers - were helpful with the itty bitty parts

Stampin' sponge - to sponge ink on the edges of card stock

dowel - to wrap thin card stock strips around to create vines




Thanks for looking =)
