Rat Puppeteer

Hello Nomad friends.  My first creation for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  The team are posting every day this month and so far it's looking spooktacular.  October is also breast cancer month so I've gone pink with my make.   I have upgraded Lost Coast Designs TaDa Mouse to rat status and he's running through the pink ethereal forest brandishing clown hand puppets!!  Coulrophobes beware......... 

I stamped a panel of white card with Lost Coast Designs Trees Background using Cactus pink ink and gave it a pink watercolour wash.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs TaDa Mouse on white card, added some promarker colour and fussy cut.  I cut straight through his hands to extend his arms a bit and added the two shrink plastic puppets and a few die cut bats.

 
I stamped Carmen's Veranda Kukla and Ollie on white shrink plastic to give the cute little handpuppets.  I added some red promarker colours, fussy cut them and shrank them.  Here you can see the size difference between the unshrunk and the shrunken versions.

 

Submit your entries to the linky party by 23.59 PST on the 31st and don't forget to follow us so you don't miss anything!  The team will be posting more inspiration throughout the month so hop over and join the fun. 

Thanks for dropping by.   Hugz

OMGosh ... this card brought an instant chuckle! LOL The hand puppets are such a fun idea. At first glance, I thought he was juggling the characters & bats (old eyes see things that aren't there sometimes lol). Either way, this is awesome fun!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Two Old Bats & Double D challenges! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Love this - what a clever way to use the puppets. They ended up the perfect size too. Great card, Gail. Thanks for getting spooky with the sistahs, Jo x

Is it weird of me to say that I'm glad this wasn't a very happy male mouse? ROFLMBO!!! This really made me chuckle. Thanks for the support of the Sisterhood Gail!
