HALLOWEEN: Nolan's Goopy monster & "Tease or Treat" (plus over 100 Links & counting)

I just have to tease you about a treat I have comin' up for Halloween. I'm sitting on something Halloweenie that is so exciting it's SCARY! Nope, there's no goblin in my desk chair, hehehe... You'll just have to wait 'n' see... ;O)=

For now, a card with another great image drawn by Nolan (the ultra-artistic 10 year old son of the super-talented 'Fred' of Fred She Said!) & a gaggle of Halloween links to get you in a spoooooooky mood (many from Martha and her minions, that ghoulish group)...

Nolan's Monster:

This card features Nolan's second monster creation "Goopy"! I printed him on gesso cardstock & embossed him with clear embossing powder. Then, I coloured him with Close to my Heart markers. You can use an aqua painter (or wet brush) to goop the marker colouring up for a watercolour look. '

The red blood is embossed by drawing it in SU markers on the patterned gesso cardstock (which stays wet so you can just emboss it with clear embossing powder.) And the bluuuhdy embossing on the red cardstock is done with a marker. (Just marker heavily & it will pick up the clear e.p.)

The googlie-eyed flowers are punched with the Three for You flower punch & The spider web is from Web Wishes. The main card is Green Galore cardstock. The sentiment is embossed (doodled on with a black stamp'n'write marker; the marker & e.p. on gesso c.s. lets you get very fine embossing lines.)

(Here's Nolan's first monster.)
