Frightfully Fun Birthday

Well the nights are drawing in and that can only mean one thing - Halloween.  It also happens to be my husbands and his brothers birthday.  Imagine having twins born on Halloween... double trouble for sure!

I'm starting with my brother-in-laws card, still thinking about my husbands! When making their cards I usually like to add a bit of spookiness and for this card I used Monster Mash stamp set by Sugar Pea Designs featuring the not so spooky but rather cute Franky - why the heck I feel the need to name my stamps is beyond me, it can't be normal - anyway...


I've coloured Franky with alcohol markers, stamped the sentiment in two parts to add the word birthday rather than Halloween.  Masked off the image to add some black acrylic paint and grounded him with a strip of patterned paper from MFT and non-shed silver glitter card.
