On AFTCM there are a few Halloween swaps on the go, one being Halloween in a Teacup.
I was going to do a 3-D version, but due to postal costs decided to make it a double sided type of card with a pop-up in the middle.
I was low on ink in my printer, so I created my own template for a Mug and made handle a pumpkin shape. I coloured the front with dye inks using the direct-to-paper technique using a Clearsnap stylus and foam tips. Stamped the Stampscapes stamp around the top then added images from Dover Art and Vintage Paintworks. Cut out the nose, eyes and mouth on the "pumpkins" with some punches.
The back is coloured with pigment ink and stamped with Stampscapes & Stampendous stamps, added a touch of Smooch ink to the rays in behind the pumpkin witch. Images are from Dover Art.
I remembered that I had a bunch of "googly eyes" and decided to add them to the pumpkin handles.
The inside is stamped with Magenta and Stampscapes stamps, then images added from Dover Art and Lisa Vollrath's sayings.
