I'm late! I'm late!!

Not a good way to start off the new year , but I'm a few days behind 

in my Hellgnome post for this week.

Better late than never, I suppose.

I used the Hellgnome Skull balloon image as my main focus.

I popped it into my Gimp program and manipulated the 

image to create a bunch. 

I colored the balloons in my favorite color combo, 

and then fussy cut them out so I could play with their

arrangement more, and give them dimension with foam tape. 

Lastly, I glued some baker's twin onto the back of each balloon,

and gathered them behind an inked TH quote chip.

Also, double points for using the TH packaging as my background paper.

I just distressed it a bit with some paint splatter and distress inks.

I love the spider web design in the Halloween packaging. 

The hoarder who  lives in my craft room forbid me to throw it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a bunch of new goodies to play with and I can't wait to show you

what I make with them.
