Coffin Card by Janet Bradshaw

Texana Designs Stamps
Vampire, Treat Bag and “I vant a Bite of Candy”
Wiggle Eyes
Wobbles
Foam Tape
PrismaColor Pencils
Gamsol
Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens
Woodgrain background stamp

I sketched out a coffin shape sized for the large vampire and able to fit in an A2 envelope. Next I folded a piece of black cardstock and put the mat on top with the lower left side of the coffin along the fold. I drew out the card leaving a 1/8" border around the mat. The mat was stamped with a woodgrain background stamp before adhering to the card base. The vampire was colored and attached to the card with a wobble action spring and wiggle eyes.
