Monster Mash with Rit Liquid Dye


You can find the instructions for the Halloween party favors I designed last year on the Rit Dye website.  This year I made something similar, but with a few twists.  Frankenstein's mouth is embroidered, and his neck bolts are made from straws painted silver.  I also used the same Sizzix Eileen Hull Scoreboards XL Die, and twine from The Twinery.  Thought I'd share those with you too!

Rit Liquid Dye is used to create custom-colored, textured cardstock for this Monster Mash invitation and treat cup.  A Sizzix Scoreboards vase die  is used to make a whimsical Frankenstein treat cup and for the face focal image on the invitation.  Ransom note style lettering cut from magazine spells out the key text.   A hand stitched mouth, silver drinking straw bolts, and fringed hair add to his monsterly appeal.
