Is it Halloween already??!!!.....

Hello again dear friends: The CASology challenge has a CUE CARD with the word TEAR and asks to make a card based on it, we can interpret this word as we want so, it took me a while to make up my mind about what to do or how to do it but, the other day I was watching some reruns of the Andy Griffith show, some of you.....no MOST OF YOU might not even know or even watch this show that dates from the early 60s, takes place in sleepy North Carolina town of Mayberry, with the super honest and easy going sheriff Andy and his goofy deputy Barny, aunt Bee, Opie.....anyway, as I was saying, I was watching some reruns of this show while loading the dish washer and one of this episodes was about a "haunted" house that was making noises and the sheriff and deputy went to investigate only to find that the "ghosts" were only the town drunk and his pals making moonshine but, in one of the scenes there is a picture hanging on the wall of the wealthy dead resident and the eyes were cut off and someone was peeking from behind..... Well, I will stop now babbling about this show and show you my card, inspired by the "scary peeking eyes" on that picture.

The word TEAR means "ripped" so I stamped this very old stamp of a hole onto white card stock and, using a stylus, made some score lines from the center to the edges and then, carefully tore the paper making an opening. I snipped the opening around and cut some black card stock and put it in the back, I die cut a white circle and punched a black dot, sponged the eyeballs with Hello Honey ink and drew some veins to create this pair of blood shot eyes.  I was, and still am, laughing at this card.

Can you see the torn paper? I sponged a bit of Baked Brown Sugar to give the holes an aged look. 

Now, the sentiment took some doing.....I tried to hand write it with no luck and then, a lighting bolt shook me and I remember this old SU set called "Googly Ghouls" in which I found the word BOOOO but then I needed the PEEKA to complete the word PEEKABOOOO and of course that stumped me for a spell, and then, another lighting bolt.....I remember another stamp set that has not seen ink in quite a while, it's from Avery Elle and it's a Tic Tac Toe set with letters and numbers, well, the letters matched almost perfectly the letters in the BOOOO, don't you think?

Anyway, this is a picture of the finished inside.

And here is the CUE CARD that inspired mine.

This are the stamps I used to create this card.

Thank you for stopping by, until next time, Happy Hauntings.....Ooops!! no, Happy Stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
