Hand drawn ATC cards inspired by Tim Burton characters

Its been a while since I have made some ATC cards so decided to draw a few and see where it took me. As I'm a big fan of Tim Burton, I decided to start with a few of my favourite characters and Halloween seemed a perfect day to share them.

Emily - Corpse Bride

This is the story of a shy young man who goes into the woods to practise his wedding vows for his wedding day but accidentally becomes married to a corpse bride (Emily).

Sparky - Frankenweenie

I then moved onto Frankenweenie and Victor's dog Sparky.  This is a heartwarming tale
of a boy's love for his dog. After Victor unexpectedly loses his beloved dog Sparky in an accident, Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back from the dead with a few complications.
Edgar E Gore - Frankenweenie

Victor trusts his creepy friend Edgar E Gore to keep his secret by bringing Edgar's dead goldfish back to life......but of course he doesn't. Love this film, recommend you watch it.

Jack Skellington - The Nightmare Before Christmas

I then moved onto The Nightmare Before Christmas. This is the story of Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween Town who discovers Christmas Town, but in his attempts to bring Christmas to his own town causes utter chaos. With Sally his rag doll love and the meddling Oogie Boogie. Naturally, all does not go according to plan.

Sally & Jack Skellington - The Nightmare Before Christmas

Edward Scissorhands

Another Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissor Hands.  A story of a synthetic young man created by his eccentric inventor (like Pinocchio) but due to his father's untimely death he was not completed and is left with shears for hands.

I don't tend to make and send Halloween cards unless for a project or craft swap but love to see the imaginative cards that other crafters make, which is wonderful.



Happy Crafting!
