Day 21 - 31 Days of Halloween & Scraps of Darkness

Hello, all! Day 21! Can you believe we've been through three weeks of the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween?! The days have gone by so fast! Today I have another layout to share with you. I used another of my favorite art pieces from Victoria Frances for this. Now when you think vampires, you don't usually think Pink but when I saw this image I knew I had to have some softer colors in there. She looks kind of innocent...in a weird way.

Vamp Layout. For this page, I used my Scraps of Darkness All Hallows Eve Kit and a sheet of Prima Daisy Dreams paper. The crocheted flowers are from The Paper Studio and the pink bling is from Prima. The flowers are Petaloo Color Me Crazy misted with a combination of Lindy's Stamp Gang Alpine Ice Rose  and Ghouly Gargoyle White, and Tattered Angels Coffee Shop Mist. The inking was done with Distress Inks in Black Soot.

Day 19 - 31 Days of Halloween & Scraps of Darkness

Hello, all! Day 19 of the 31 Days of Halloween over at the Smeared and Smudged Blog and today I have a frame to share with you. I've been wanting to use this stamp from Tiddly Inks for a while now but didn't know what to put it on. Then I found this square frame in my stack of alterable items and I thought it would be perfect for a couples' frame. I used my Scraps of Darkness All Hallows Eve Kit for this.

Vampire Couple Frame. The papers are from my Scraps of Darkness All Hallows Eve Kit; Fancy Pants and Pink Paislee. The bats were cut off a Prima Vine Embellishment. The stamps are from Tiddly Inks colored with Copics and some Stardust Stickles.

Day 18 - 31 Days of Halloween & Scraps of Darkness

Hello, all! Time for Day 18 of the 31 Days of Halloween over at Smeared and Smudged! Today I have another layout for you created from my Scraps of Darkness All Hallows Eve Kit (mixed with a few things from a previous S.O.D. kit). This will be entered in the Monochrome Challenge - for the Burgundy Week (twist of teal), the Colour Challenge, and the ABC Challenge from over at scrapbook.com.

Masquerade Layout. For this page, I used items from my Scraps of Darkness All Hallows Eve and Marrakesh Express Kits. The cardstock papers are from Bazzill and the diamond paper is Fancy Pants Witching Hour paper. The other papers are from Creative Imaginations. I colored one flower with Tattered Angels B Positive Glimmer Glam. I made a couple of ribbon roses and added them to the Prima flowers. I used Ingvild Bolm's Liquid Chalk from Prima in Coal Black to color the lace and the chipboard. The bling is from Prima and the frame is an acetate shape from Kaisercraft. I used Liquid Pearls in Peacock throughout. I used some Fleur d'lis stamps in some of the diamonds.

Scraps of Darkness Release & Halloween Blog Hop, & Day 15 - 31 Days of Halloween

Hello, all! A lot of stuff to share with you today! Today is the 15th and that means the October release for Scraps of Darkness. Not only do I have the release to share but today is also the first ever Scraps of Darkness blog hop - The Halloween Blog Hop!

It's so versatile!

October All Hallows Eve Kit Sketch by Suepup (aka Charlotte).

Queen of the Damned Layout. I love this photo. In my opinion, Aaliyah made one of the prettiest vampires I've seen in movies and I wanted to create a page for her with this All Hallows Eve kit. I based this page on the Monochrome Challenge over at scrapbook.com, which includes for week 3 the use of Orange and Red. I used the Authentique Afterglow paper and a couple of different oranges, plus a red, cardstocks. I distressed the edges and inked them with Ingvild Bolm Black Coal Ink. I painted the papers with Shimmerz Orange Sherbert as well. The flourishes were cut out with my Cricut Expression and covered in Orange Peel Stickles. The bling flourishes were made by hand with Liquid Pearls in Cantaloupe. I used one of the Kaisercraft Acetate Shapes from the kit to assemble my title tag. The black flowers are from Petaloo and the orange flowers are Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers misted with Lindy's Stamp Gang Hag Wart Orange Mist and Shimmerz Terra Cotta Mist. I stamped the background with Tim Holtz's Limited Edition Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink and some starry stamp from Inkadinkado.
