Halloween Mouse Trap
Halloween is this weeks theme at Out of a Hat Creations, so I decided to have a go at decorating another mouse trap. After sanding and giving it a coat of gesso I painted it with sunset orange acrylic dabber. I stamped the skull and the web in black stazon from the new mini blueprint T!m Holtz plate. I went over them with black enamel accents. Once dry added a couple of charms and crystals for the eyes.

Cute! I love the bat 'hair' (?!) bow.
Have to admit, that I dont like the thought of using a device to kill something in craft BUT I do like the artwork people create on them - and I really like the decorating/artwork youve done.
Thank you so much for the nice comment on my blog (I've made the first time a contribution for "Artful Times Challenges")!
