I’ll Keep an Eye Out for You…and a SALE!

Hi everyone!  TGIF!

I have a fun little jar to share today.   (It’s kind of creepy but fun too.)

My Eyeball Jar

      MFTEBJ

I used MFT’s new Ghoulish Label set on a 16 oz. square jar.  I cut thin strips of white cardstock, sponged the edges with Ranger’s Old Paper Distress Ink and then adhered them to the jar.  To finish off the top and bottom edges, I adhered thin strips of black cardstock. 

MFTEBJTFor each eye, I stamped the eyeball twice, once in red, once in black.  I punched out the red eye, then colored the black image with a blue marker and punched out that part, adhering it over the red.  The outside eyeball (and lid eyeball) are raised on dimensional boosters.  I also traced over all of the red lines with a clear gel pen so they look wet and icky.

I made a matching card as well.  And please notice….NO PATTERNED PAPER!  I’m so proud of myself.  🙂  (My friend, Lynette, had challenged me to not use patterned paper.  That’s a really hard thing for me.)
