Here is a card I made using the Amarantha & Archie image from Simply B Stamps, drawn by Abigail Larson. I love how the image lent itself to a wedding-ish theme. (I know that the edges of my card look like they are brown; they are not. I promise they are black, the flash on my camera was just not cooperating with me. Lol. )

Here is my creation for this fourth challenge:

This amazing image is from the Simply B Stamps shop, created by Abigail Larson, called "Dance with Death." Isn't is just lovely?! I decide to concentrate all the color on Death and his dance partner, then leaving everything else is in grays. I used the DCWV Immortal Love stack for this tag, along with a clock die cut and a clock transparency. I also added red satin ribbon and black liquid pearls.

It's the 13 Days of Halloween! ~Day 2~

Hello, everyone!  Let's continue to celebrate the fabulously spooky time of Halloween. It's the second day of the 13 Days of Halloween over at the Simply Betty Stamps Blog! Thirteen fun-filled days throughout the month of October full of challenges, prizes, and surprises!

Here is my creation for this second challenge:

 

This is Bwains Christian. Isn't he adorable? I love his innocent look, even though he's probably thing about eating your brain. Lol. I used an image from an embroidery pattern of a zombie hand to create the background paper. I colored the images in with Copics. I then made a border of brains by repeating a brain pattern on paper. The image is colored in  Copics, I used Thickers for the sentiment, and my Martha Stewart goo order punch for the borders of blood. 

I hope you like it! Make sure to stop by SBS to see everyone else's projects!

It's the 13 Days of Halloween! ~Day 1~

Hello, everyone! It's finally that time of year again when we Halloween fanatics get in gear for our favorite month! OCTOBER! All the excitement leading, of course, to one of the most awesome holidays ever! HALLOWEEN!

And to celebrate this fabulously spooky time, Simply B Stamps is having the 13 Days of Halloween! Thirteen days throughout the month of October full of challenges, prizes, and surprises!

The first day of Halloween is full of creepy visuals. The first challenge is to create your very own creepy background. You can use mists, inks, stencils, embossing folders, and anything else you can think of to create a background for your project.

Check out the Simply B Stamps blog for all the fun details!

Here is the project I created with my creepy background:

 

I used the Steampunk Little Witch image for this project, which I will be turning into an journal cover. I started this background with light gray textured cardstock, misted it with Lindy's Stamp Gang mists (Afternoon Delight Denim, Cattail Copper Brown, Witch's Potion Purple, Ponderosa Pines Olive), then used the Tim Holtz Flourish stamp with Embossing Ink and clear embossing powder. I then used Distress Inks in various colors over the entire paper. I covered the embossed pieces with newspaper and ironed over it to get the embossing powder off. I then inked more on the paper, splattered it with water, and used a cobweb stamp and embossing powders from Lindy's in Terra Cotta Plum and King Midas Gold. I used Black and Gold Adirondack Paint Dabbers on the edges then affixed the image of the Little Witch (which is colored in Copics) to the cover.

Make sure to check out the challenges, fun, and other DT projects over at the SBS Blog! And check back on the 5th for the next 13 Days of Halloween challenge!
