The Burtonesque Dolls challenge #10 Burton Boys

This week over at The Burtonesque Dolls,
we were to create a project using a Burton character as our main image.
This week's challenge is sponsored by Stamp It Crazy.
I already have quite a collection of Stamp it Crazy images,
and decided to use the Jack Skellington image, and pair it with
the wicked iron fence, also from SIC.
 
I embossed the fence and then colored it in using SU inks and SU sponge daubers,
to help it blend into the background a bit more. When it was white it was just too much contrast against that cool, vintage wallpaper.
Yeah! I finally worked it into a project!
That stuff is kinda crazy to glue down. I think it's been rolled up a very long time.
Overall, I am pleased.
How 'bout you?

This is my second card, since Barb at Stamp it Crazy
was nice enough to provide us with this image to play with also.
I already had the Zero headstone stamp from another company (Stamp Happy),
so I popped it up on pop dots to cover the original, sillouette image of Zero's headstone.
I used a Nesties label, and mounted that on a Lattice Pendant.
I ran lime green, sheer ribbon through it for a little contrast and I also added 
a touch of sparkle with a Sakura glitter pen.
   
LOVE the Martha Stewart edge punches!
This is the graveyard punch with some more glitter pen for highlights.
It's nice, right?
