Blogger Challenge: Week 123

This week's blogger challenge theme is Halloween. I've wanted to make one of these Top Note die Frankenstein cards for a while now, so I thought this challenge was the perfect time to try it out.

Here's my version of Frankenstein. I used one Old Olive Top Note die cut for the head. I sponged matching ink over the die cut for some depth and distressing. The hair is a section of another Top Note die, this time using Lovely Lilac cardstock. I punched out some different size circles for eyes and a nose and drew in a mouth with a black marker.

The pieces on the side of Frankenstein's head are made from the large arrow from the My Way punch. I added a single silver brad "screw" in each of them for a little dimension and interest.

The Frankenstein face is layered on a white base made from a 4 1/4" by 11" piece of cardstock folded in half and cut with the Top Note die just below the top (point of the die). The Frankenstein piece matches up to the shape of the card base at the bottom and sides, but extends just beyond the top "fold" between the two connected Top Notes.
