SBS 3rd Day of Halloween

I'm back with a quick post for the SBS 3rd Day of Halloween challenge. 
 
The challenge for Day 3 is to use gauze and 'wrap up' your project.
 
I was brainstorming with my oldest daughter about what to make and this is what she came up with.  She helped me make the "Mummies" and I made the tag.
 



The "Mummy" is a gauze wrapped lollipop with wiggle eyes, and inked.
 
My printer ran out of ink and I only have a few SBS stamps, so I am a bit limited in my choice of images right now.  Looks like I'll be buying some ink after work tomorrow :)
 
I stamped "Miss Betty Burton" colored in grey tones using Copics.  This was my first try at this and I kinda like it.  I added some Stickles to her hair clips for a bit of sparkle.
 
I used Spellbinders to cut out the circle and scallop circle, and tied it to the lollipop using Timeless Twine.
 
 
We're only on day 3 and I'm already feeling overwhlemed! I think I just need to have some meals planned out a pre-prepared to make for more play time during the week :)
