31 Days of Halloween - Day 17

Morning all, here's another flower ::smile::

For the center portion of the flower I used one of the awesomely creepy little guys on the digi sheet I'd won from our main month's sponsor, Rick St. Dennis. Colored him in with watercolor pencils, and used a punch to stamp him out, placed this on a background circle of purple and used black stickles. I used one of Inkadinkado's $1 stamps to stamp cobwebs on the orange pp. I then used my Martha Stewart cobweb stamp on some black pp & glued it to some generic green/white striped paper before scoring and making the outside flower.

More to come today...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 16

Another Saturday w/Poe - part deux

This is the second part of my framed tribute to Poe. The base paper was distressed w/Black Soot and Pumice Distress Inks and is from DCWV Street Lace and complements the earlier piece. I added a picture of a lovely woman and a cemetery figure from a collage sheet from Altered by Designed. Stamped "Nevermore", a raven and "Forgotten Lore" from Smeared Ink's "Quoth the Raven" rubber stamp sheet. Added a gorgeous gray Prima Flower, another UTEE'd Candlestick, ecru lace, black tulle, and some bling.

I've missed so many days, but will attempt to catch up (details to follow). Am entering this in the Smudgy Antics blog Challenge whose theme is Blackbirds.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 9

Good Morning, Hope you've been having a wonderful time hopping and blogging this month thus far! Remember there are daily prizes, check out Terra's blog (addy to right). For today, I went with an addition to my Halloween decor, a tag that will be attached to a large granite candlestick with in my Poe section.

First I crumpled the tag, rubbed Pumice & Black Soot Distress inks across the creases, then sprayed with water, flattened it out & distressed the edges. The word stamps are from Smeared Ink's Quoth the Raven set, and the Raven stamp itself was from I Brake For Stamps. I took a chipboard raven, painted it black, then added Crackle Accents to it. Added some ribbon at the top and voila!

Have a great Day/Night! and thanks for looking!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 8

This will be short & sweet. I'd forgotten how enjoyable it was to make ATC's, so I made another one:

This is an image transfer of the little girl, along with some vellum stickers. The only stamping is October 31st, but it'll do.

Have a wonderful day, now off you go!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 7

Hello Hoppers! Today I went with another ATC:

On Fridays, if we use only Smeared Ink stamps, the bloggers get an extra entry for the big prize - pretty cool huh? I used the collage stamp from Smeared Ink's "Quoth the Raven", embossing it in silver on black paper, which was then mounted to an atc sized orange cs. Added some orange/black ribbon at the bottom, 3 little satin bats, and silver filigree star piece. The silver was pretty bright, so I toned it down with some Staz-on in black.

The blog roll is to your right ---> Thanks for looking! I truly appreciate all the kind comments. And, no I didn't kill my kitties for wrecking my last project, but I did say a few choice words. I'd made an embossed plate/shallow bowl in paperclay which was drying on my desk. They'd knocked it off my desk, and a few books that were precariously placed on my desk fell on it. Ohhhh such sweet kitties. Have a great day!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 6

I really didn't want to only show 1 flower at a time, but we had a little mishap late last night in my craft room. Apparently I neglected to shut the door all the way, while I went online. Came back to find 3 kitties all over my project on the desk which was drying at the time. ACCCK!

So I stamped this this morning, another Teesha Moore zetti image & colored with markers. Lame, I know...head hanging woefully in shame.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 5

Good Morning everyone, or afternoon/evening depending on where you live. I'm blown away by everyone's projects thus far and have made a list of things I want to steal copy and make for myself. Here's my project for today, it's a box. I LOVE boxes! A place to hide or store something (sometimes it's difficult to remember exactly what's in there), and this box is for all those little witchy type accoutrements, like candles, matches, incense, mini bottles of herbs, crystals, even a small altar cloth. Grab-n-go anywhere, outside, to the park, wherever you desire.

Barely made it again Wanted to finish this up last night, but had forgotten how long this crackle stuff takes to really dry. Base coated with Territorial Beige, a coat of hide glue, then Christmas Green on top. When it was dry I stamped a few stars in gold, and moons in white. For the main image I used Inkadinkado's new Witches set in Staz-on, added a little color, distressed the edges in Antique Linen. Added some no-hole beads to the sides, and one of my flowers. I'll be back to add a better picture.
