How About Skeletons on Glow in the Dark Bike and Skateboard?

More skeletons! I’m kinda obsessed with those suckers! I had this idea when I was at my desk. I was holding the skeleton (from the DSP) and was looking at my cards I have displayed. I saw the bike card I did a few months ago and I thought that would be dang cute!

Glow in the Dark Pumpkins and a Skeleton!

Yes, yes, yes. I am a little bit obsessed with the Glow-in-the-Dark paper! Did something a little different on this one.

I stamped the pumpkins from Pick of the Patch bundle (stamps and a punch, page 51) with Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry on the Glow in the Dark paper. I used the punch for both sizes of pumpkins and the stems. As I showed in my video, when you stamp color on the Glow in the Dark, it comes out much lighter and slightly different than it would on Basic White. Here’s the video:

 

My skeleton is like a lot of my other cards- stamped with Versamark on the Glow in the Dark paper, embossed with black embossing powder and then die cut.

The grass is from the Bag of Bones dies- I used Basic Gray cardstock.

The background paper is from the Stargazing DSP in the main catalog.

The “Happy Halloween” is a stamp from Bag of Bones. I stamped with Versa, embossed with copper embossing powder.

Grassy Hills! Video!

Man, I’m having fun with that Bag of Bones/Them Bones! It makes GREAT Halloween Cards!

 

Here’s the video (that shows some of my cards that are PDF Tutorials!)

 

The skeleton is from the Them Bones DSP. It can be cut with one of the dies.

The tombstones are Basic Gray.

The “Trick or Treat” is from the Tricks & Treats stamp set (page 50). I die cut it with one of the Bag of Bones dies. To color the stamp, I used Basic Black, Basic Gray and Pumpkin Pie Write markers.

For the hills, I used the Basic Borders dies and the grass from the Bag of Bones dies.

A few Glow in the Dark things on this card- the bottom grass and the moon made with the Stylish Shapes dies. And yes, I took this picture in my laundry room. It’s the darkest room in my house. Since I took the picture during the day, I had to take it in there!

Skeletons Crawling Up a Hill!

I came up with this idea as I was falling asleep. Of course. Had to remember the next day. It took me a few hours but I did!

I thought it would be so cool to see skeletons climbing up a behind a hill. It would be kinda scary, but since these skeletons have a smile, it tones it down a bit.

  • I first made my background with Basic White cardstock (4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″), Blending Brushes and these colors:
  1. Gorgeous Grape
  2. Melon Mambo
  3. Granny Apple Green
  4. Daffodil Delight
  5. Misty Moonlight
  • I die cut the moon and stars with Basic Black.
  • The hill is made with the Basic Borders dies and Basic Black cardstock (1-1/2″ x 5-3/8″). After die cutting, I embossed with one of the new embossing folders: Cheery.
  • I stamped the skeleton body and arms twice with Versamark on Basic Black. Embossed with white embossing powder and then die cut. Tuck those skeletons behind the hill.
  • The tombstone was die cut with Smoky Slate. The middle section was first stamped with Memento on Basic Gray then die cut.
  • The rose was Versamark on Basic Black with silver embossing powder.
  • I added some bats from the Glow in the Dark Bats & Ghosts.

How About Glow-in-the-Dark Skeletons?

How flipping awesome is this? Glow in the dark skeletons! Here’s what they look like when the lights are on:

I will tell you that the Bags of Bones stamps and dies have lots of VERY little stamps and dies. There’s one big skeleton, one upper body of a skeleton, then there are many arms, legs accessories to make other skeletons. On this card, the middle one is the big skeleton, the other two are the upper body and two arms and legs. All stamped on the Glow-in-the-Dark paper with Versamark and embossed with black embossing powder. The embossing powder really sticks to the Glow in the Dark. You can see some black dots on the sentiment and a few on the skeletons.

I wanted to add hats and shoes to all of them- I used Pecan Pie, Basic Black and Basic White.

The bow ties, bones and bats are also with the Glow in the Dark.

The “Boo to You” circle is  Glow in the Dark die cut with one of the circles from the Reach for the Stars dies.

All the Bag of Bones/Them Bones stuff can be seen on pages 48-49 in the upcoming mini catalog.

Here’s my video of ways to use the Glow in the Dark paper:
