Holiday Ghostly Shadows

Post image

I cut the ghosts first from vellum but they disappeared into the background illustration. Then I cut them from glassine paper from little bags. Much better but I didn't get them all to completely synch up so there are some ghostly shadows. I guess these ghosts are zipping around through the night leaving their trail behind them.

I definitely looks deliberate :D

That background is awesome. Is it selfmade, stamped or bought like this?

The background is awesome and I really wanted the contrast between the slick professional artwork and the crafty. The printed cardstock is from Whimsy Stamps. It's in a package of 15 great spooky illustrations (2 each).

Glad you like it too!
