Playing with some shakers !

I am finishing up some shakers I made for Halloween.  I will post more pics soon but had this one done.  I got some really small round styrofoam jar fillers at the dollar store and they seem to work great to mix in.   I love the deeper thickness foam sheets to make the depth quick and easy to put together.  

 

The Count

 

"The Count" by Tim Holtz.  He was really fun to put together as he has so much attitude in his facial expression.  My only challenge with some of the colorize dies is finding enough shades of one color of card stock to show off all the layers.  So I've been purchasing shades of grey, whites, blacks and browns lately.  I made the background of the card today and played with inking, spritzing and the brand new stencil for the moon which was really fun.  The metalic sprays add some shimmer.   I have found that I really love one of the oxide ink pads for inking black papers.  Its a grey shade and makes halloween projects look really great.
