Sister Stamps Release Day 4 - Nobu

Welcome to day 4 and the final day of Sister Stamps September release!  Four new stamps are available today at various retail stores (see Sister Stamps blog for list).  Today I introduce you to Sister Stamps' first boy image, Nobu.  Isn't he adorable?!   I need to start by telling you I altered him a tiny bit and changed the toy in his hand to a lollipop, so see below for the actual image.

I decided to do something with a Halloween theme and created a glassine treat bag.  Glassine bags are a favorite of mine - like the look and they're also somewhat nostalgic.  I created the tag with some cool bat DP and a PTI tag die.  I altered the toy and made it a lollipop by using an image from SU's Sweets for the Sweet and punched it out with a 1/2" circle punch.  I wanted a little bling so I covered a small clothes pin with orange glitter paper and also punched out some bats from black glitter paper.  Did you notice the tiny bats on the glassine?   I tried stamping these bags for the first time and StazOn ink worked well.  It takes a steady hand to stamp on the the slightly slippery surface, but it's worth the effort.  So fun!  
Here's a close up.
Here's the actual image.
