So before I begin my post I'm going to admit that I did not create a handmade card or gift for Boss's Day today. It had actually slipped my mind that that was this week so I ended up purchasing my card and gift. However, I will be giving my boss one of the treat holders that I have created and shared with you this week.
Speaking of treats, I have one last one to share with you for this week. Although it's actually a treat topper and not a holder. I found these cute little baggies of vampire teeth and 'blood' at the dollar store and thought they would be cute with this Dracula treat bag topper from My Scrap Chick.
I took one of the baggies apart and re-packaged it so that you could better see the teeth and 'blood' bag. As you can see with the other two packages the manufacturer sealed them in the packages backward. Who cares, right? Well of course we do when we're crafting with them. lol
I painted up Dracula's fangs with some red smooch. You can probably tell that I was not precise with the coloring and that was on purpose. After all if you have blood on your fangs it's not like it's going to be neat and in the lines. I also used a bit of black enamel accents for the knot on the bow ties.
After putting it all together I pondered how I could add a sentiment to the topper and this is what I came up with. I just stamped this wonderful sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas Ghostly Greetings stamp set. I then hand cut my flag and adhered it to the corner of Dracula's head.
Now I'm going to go enter this in the following challenges:
Harvest and Halloween challenge - My Scrap Chick - ends October 27th
Halloween - Craftin Desert Divas - ends October 26th
