I made a little pet monkey inspiration to start us off and also continue our 31 Days of Halloween weirdness.  Your pet makes don't have to be spooky or weird, but you know we do love that here at the Portal LOL!!

I used Carmen's Veranda Monkey Face and Flying Monkey Background Lost Coast Designs Pondscum Background, Magic, and Window stamps.

I stamped the Pondscum Background on pale blue card with Sky Blue archival ink.

I stamped  Monkey Face and part of the Flying Monkey Background with black archival and masked off a semi circle.

I blended various yellow distress inks into the masked area to make the moon and used a black pen to make the big detailed flying monkey a silhouette.

I used gel pens for the monkey's eyes.  I stamped the Magic and Window with grey archival ink and gave the background a weak purple distress ink wash.

Now it's your turn.  Are you up for the challenge?  We can't wait to see your projects!  
Submit your entries in the linky party below by 5 to midnight PST on the 31st and don't forget to follow us so you don't miss anything!  The team is posting everyday this month so check back and join the fun.

Happy Stamping!
