Amuse Studio's Creepy Hollow - Amazing!

All I can say is she outdid herself AGAIN!  I was so very excited to get a package in the mail over the weekend with this wonderful Halloween decoration.  Shari is some kind of talented, she.is.an.artist!  Now for a close up of all the details. 

She used Amuse Studio's Creepy Hollow stamp set along with the Screenprint background to create the scene.  She added a bit of grass & the spooky fence dies in and around the tomb stones to complete the look.  The lantern even gives off a glow of light - all the details are amazing! 

Check out how she used Amuse Studio's rosette die to look like a spider web.  Don't you love how all the chevrons line up perfectly?  The felt spider is from Amuse Studio's Candy Box die set.  She inked up the edges of the rosette and added a bit of glitter to the mountains of the rosette.

The branches are from Creepy Hollow as well (On our Spotlight Sale thru end of October)  She used Amuse Studio's Bat Die Trio & also made a moon with a circle punch to create another spooky scene.  I absolutely love it and will have this amazingly cute Halloween decoration proudly displayed in my home!  Trick OR Treat - I say most definitely Treat - THANK YOU SHARI!!
