31 Days of Halloween - Day 22

Sorry, but it's another flower:

The center image is another one of Rick St. Dennis's creepy creatures from the prize sheet - I think this little "snail" is adorable. Colored it with my Derwent Inktense pencils and a red colored pencil for the bloodshot eyes. Used Martha Stewart's cobweb punch on some black dp, glued on purple, and orange strips.The strips are scored using Martha's Scoring Board, makes it easy peasy to fold them into flowers.

I'll be back later. Thanks for looking!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 18

For today, another ATC:

I made a background using alcohol inks & glossy cardstock, stamped Inkadinkado's cobweb stamps in black Staz-on & used the senti- Boo. Was hoping that the stazon would lift some of the alcohol ink on the boo, leaving a ghost image, but that didn't happen . So I added some highlights with a silver pen on the letters. The spider is from Dusty Attic, inked in black & covered with glittah. Thanks for looking!

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!
