Spooky Creepy Crawly for Retrosketches #23 and Dynamic Duos #14

Happy Tuesday!  It's been awhile since I've been able to participate in the Retrosketches challenge but this weeks sketch was one I just couldn't pass up - Retrosketches #23 (see below).  The inspiration for my colors comes from the Dynamic Duos Challenge #14 - Bold and Sassy combo.

I got these new stamp sets just a couple days ago from the Stampin Up Holiday mini catalog and I've been dying to ink them up.  I colored the sentiment stamp and the cute little googly eyed characters with my Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi SU markers.  I made my own patterned paper by stamping the sentiment several times on the two rows (my first attempt was very crooked so the second time I drew a very thin pencil line across my paper to keep the words straighter).  I snipped out the cute little spider and let him drop down from the web.  So what do you think of these cute little googly eyes?  Aren't they just the bomb!! I'm wishing I had ordered more myself as I've already used up about half of the sheet (hint... you'll probably see some more of these in my other posts coming soon).   I chose to leave some eyes are they are and to add the googlies to the others.  Not sure who those two little eyes belong to above the words - maybe its the invisible man.  Here's a closer look:

Hope you like this card and thanks so much for dropping by to visit today - I'm sure glad that you did.   Til next time - Hugs!!

Supplies (all from Stampin Up!):  Cardstock - Whisper White, Wild Wasabi and Pumpkin Pie.  Stamps - Border Banter (words) and Googly Gouls (characters) with some Googlies (eyes - come in a sheet of 50).  The textured background is a textured embossing folder called Spider Web folder.  I used the Finishing Touches Edgelits for the border around my word strip.  The postage stamp and 1" square punches were used for each of the characters.
