I love the new trims included in the Outpost Attic Finds. This tiny pom pom trim comes in a lovely ivory that is perfect for dying. I sprayed several different purple inks and glitter mists into a plastic sandwich bag, and then dropped in my trim and moved it all around until it was completely covered in ink. After I was done, I spread it out on some scrap paper to dry ... voila, purple trim & no ink on my fingers.
For my card, I wrapped the dyed trim around my card base covered with Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland papers. I stamped the fun top hat skeleton from Artistic Outpost's Haunted Halloween in purple ink on lavender paper. I colored the cane with a black marker and paper pieced the hat with black cardstock.
I cut the sentiment in half (one of the great perks of unmounted stamps) and finished my design.
Love the dyed trims, they look wonderful behind Mr. Bones!
