Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls

Welcome to Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls.  If you love the work of Tim Burton, and enjoyed the challenges over at The Burtonesque Dolls then you'll like it here.  All the forthcoming challenges will have a 'Burtonesque' feel to them, although they may have no direct link to the works of Tim Burton.  The whole idea of this blog is to widen the challenges, maybe introduce you to films, books and directors that you've not heard of before. It's all about fun, maybe a little quirky and twisted fun, but still fun.


For our first challenge we have chosen a very broad theme;


 'Halloween' we want you to create a card/project inspired by your favourite Halloween film, book or memory.  


You can use images from any company you wish, and you can create a digital project if you wish, 

it's all for fun, so no limitations, 

just make sure you respect the copyright of the artists out there.  


Don't forget to tell us what inspired your creation,

that's all part of the fun.
My creation was inspired by a Halloween childhood memory.

Every year my mom would put a paper skeleton on our front door

and I was really scared of him at night. I told my mom

that I could hear him talking to me.

I was afraid he would come and get me. That skeleton

started my love for anything fun and cute Halloween

but nothing too scary.

Here he is...

The skeleton is from an awesome Tim Holtz set by

Stampers Anonymous. Retro Halloween.

Can't wait to see your scary or not so scary creations.
