Dancing Jack Skeley- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Welcome to the Bombshell Hump Day Hop! If you're unaware, each week the Design Team Members from Bombshell Stamps bring you a fantastic blog hop featuring awesome projects and a cool monthly prize. Just visit each DT member on the list and leave them a comment; for each comment, you're entered into the drawing at the end of the month! The more comments you leave, the more entries you get!

This week our theme is paper piecing, and I have to say I took alot of liberty with the theme. I sat down with the best intetntions of making a card... then, surprise surprise, I thought of something else.

I did use some paper piecing techniques by stamping onto scraps of decorative paper and coordinating different pieces. You can't see it very well in the pictures, but my project used four different coordinating papers. They all have the same color scheme, just different patterns, so it's a little harder to tell unless you're seeing it in person.

My project this week is a Dancing Jack Skeley made from the Muertas Doll set. He is supposed to be like those little toys where you pull the string and their arms and legs go up and down. Since there's alot of movement to him, I included pictures for you to see the design, and a video of him actually moving. (I hope the video works right this time!)

I'm loving Jack and his silly dance! I'll definitely be using this technique to make all sorts of these fun dancing characters for Halloween; my kids are crazy for them!

  16. Thank you so much everyone! I'm glad everyone enjoys my projects so much!

    Char, I didn't have a pattern, I just kinda winged it and it took some trial-and-error to get it right.
