I purchased some of the new Tim Holtz release for Halloween and wanted to get started using them! I used the Masquerade dies, some Geo Insects, the new Abandoned Paper Stash papers, last years Halloween Clippings Stickers for the sentiments and Halloween Paper Dolls to create 4 different designs.
For my first card, I used the largest mask from the Masquerade set as wings and one of the smaller masks on the Paper doll. I added the Dangling Spider die cut from Poppy Stamps. I lightly sanded both the large mask and spider. I rubbed over her dress with a Distress Crayon. She and the spider are popped up on foam dots.

For my second card, I die cut one of the Geo Insects out of Kraft Stack black paper as well as a small mask. I colored the Paper Dolls dress with a Distress Crayon, layered her over the wings and adhered a mask over her eyes. She is popped up over the wings with foam dots.

I colored the shirts of this Paper Dolls (two girls attached) with a Distress Crayon, added a small mask to one and the other is holding the wing of a bat! The girls and the bat are popped up on foam dots.

For my final card, I die cut a Geo Insect out of orange Kraft Stack paper and the skull out of tan which I sponged with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I adhered masks to the skull and the Paper Doll. I colored her dress with a Distress Crayon. She and the skull are popped up on foam dots.

Have to confess I'm suppressing a shiver here - I don't do Hallowe'en - but that just shows how well they are made. Macabre springs to mind... which is, presumably, the intention. Brilliantly done, although I was disappoointed that the background on the middle two isn't a stencil or a stamp, so I could get my hands on it...it's wonderful. Brilliant use of the ubiquitous Paper Dolls ... really well designed.

Pure genius! I love your dressed-up, adapted Paper Dolls. The first woman, off to a masquerade; the wonderful fairy girl with those intricate latticed wings; the adorable trick or treaters (or not-so adorable if they let that bat flap its wings in my face), and the definitely creepy Dorothy... and each with its own magical background. A brilliant series of cards.
