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.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 4

It's now day 4 of the 31 days of Halloween! The big day itself gets closer and closer...and I've not finished decorating ::insert sad face:: Well, lots of stuff stays up all year, but there's always more to put out Anyway, you're here to see my offering for today.

Today I made a card using the adorably cranky & hungry looking "Frankie" which was a freebie from Smeared Ink for participating in a challenge last month. Isn't he cool? I colored him with Derwent Inktense pencils. The cool Happy Halloween was a freebie I found online, and I used my markers. I mounted it on a piece of DCWV Street Lace Paper, added a bit of wired sheer ribbon gathered in the center w/ an orange button on top.

Thanks for looking!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 3

Well, we're on day 3 of the 31 days of Halloween, hosted by Smeared Ink. The Wicked Blogger list is to your right, in case you get lost. For today's project I made an ATC:

I'd snagged a skelly image from the internet and printed it on a transparency, then cut it to ATC size. In PSE, I made the little Wood Coffins stamp out sign, printed it out, cut it to size. Then stamped the senti at the bottom, securing the 2 layers with little bat eyelets. I love making ATC's - they're small

Well, that's it for today...off you go to the next stop.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 2

This will be short, as I almost missed the deadline waiting til this morning to do this. Man, I hate migraines - suck the life out of you, or at least any ambition I'll do better for tomorrow's project now that I'm feeling somewhat human. Wish I'd had the foresight to do projects last month LOL. Anywho here's my project, I went with a tag:\

Distressed the tag with walnut ink/black soot & antique paper Distress Ink, ran it thru an embossing folder also distressed (technique from Tim Holtz). I then used the Poe stamp from Smeared Ink's "Quoth the Raven" set stamped in India Ink Black and distressed. Colored a raven with black soot, added a couple of flowers I made from a shopping bag & Perfect Pearls Mist (homemade), and a piece of webby ribbon. Also added some ribbons. Again, poor scan apologies...

Now off you go!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 1

Here's my project for the first day of the 31 Days of Halloween at the Smeared & Smudged Forum, sponsored by Smeared Ink. I'm also combining this with the Challenge at Smudgy Antics to do a Zetti style project. I've had a collection of Teesha Moore's Zettiology stamps for several years - I love her style & to be able to combine it with the 31 Days of Halloween is a treat!

It's a simple project: I stamped the swirlies & "surprise" from Smeared Ink's rubber stamp set "Jack" on some orange pp in black, then made a rosette from the orange, adding another rosette in black pp. Then I stamped a Zetti "cat person" image on white cs & colored it with markers. Glued everything together & glued a black skewer to the back. I'm making a little "garden" so to speak with several of these lollipop rosette flowers to sit on the tv.

**excuse the poor scan, camera batteries were dead, again . better pic to follow.

Oh the Horror Challenge - Smeared Ink

Here's my entry for the "Oh the Horror" challenge at the Smeared & Smudged Forum, sponsored by Smeared Ink. It's based on the 2002 movie "May" starring Angela Bettis, which I confess I've not seen.

I used a freebie image from Sassy Design Studio called "Wicked", adding a few pairs of scissors, a digi from Smeared Ink called "Dead Dancer", and added the title & line underneath all using the computer. Yayy me! Anyway, I colored this with Derwent Inktense Pencils & distressed the edges using Distress Ink in Scattered Straw, Walnut and Black Soot. I added some dripping blood in red cs using a Martha Stewart punch - my only one from her, but my favorite. I'm going to put it into a frame which I just painted & going to place it with my little Vincent Price shrine. A little collection of horror movie inspired art! Thanks for looking!
