Back from the Bat Cave

Hi, everyone!  That’s where I feel like I’ve been…in a cave.  It’s been pretty dark and very, very quiet.  My son’s surgery went well.  Wednesday was a bit rough, but yesterday was much better.  He had his post-surgery check and the doctor says his eyes look great.  I’ll have to take her word for it though as his eyes seriously make me ill.  (My stomach handled the seventeen stitches in the back of his head last year much better.)  Thank you all so very much for your kind thoughts, well wishes and emails.  I truly appreciate each and every one of them. 

So…I’ve had this image stamped and ready for color for a while.  It’s my all-time favorite (quite old Stampin’ Up) Halloween set.

Happy Halloween

I used Copic markers to color the image.  I cut the (hat) star and pumpkin pail ‘out of the box’ then sponged the edges to dirty them a bit.  You can’t tell in the photo, but I used a clear glaze pen on the trick or treat bag, hat star, garland, caramel and pumpkin pail.

I popped up the trick or treat bag, garland and pumpkin pail, placing a rolled glue dot beneath each pumpkin on the garland and a tiny dot of glue under the first and last candy in the string.
