The Count

Oops, I must have had my wonky eyes in when I took this pic!  I'll blame the weather, its been such a yeuchy wet dark and gloomy day today.  All the rivers on the way home from work are absolutely full to the neck, and another night of rain due.

I bought this wee vampire a while ago (Vic the Vampire from Kraftin' Kimmie) ... he reminds me of Count von Count from the Muppets!  All together now in your best Bela Lugosi voice .... "One Bat.  Two Bats!   Ah ah aa."!!!!

This card took aaages to make, believe it or not.  It's originally CASEd on Jackie's card HERE (Jackie is this week's featured stamper on SCS)

I first stamped the greeting (alpha set from Paper Smooches), then embossed the white panel, splattered black and purple watercolour paint (I LOVE this effect), and then coloured my wee vampire with copics and popped him up on dimensionals.  Black glitter added to the splodges on the ground and clear gloss to his eyes and shoes.  My purples do match better IRL, but for some reason my camera doesn't like them.
The metal web in the corner and purple bat on my twine are from an old pack of confetti bought at Tesco's a few years back.
