I put a spell on you

Not me of course, but Witchy Grumpy. Isn't she just great. From a set by Smeared Ink, you'll no doubt get to see a few more in the next few weeks. Sentiment stamped all round the side is from the same set. Coloured in promarkers and attached to orange paper printed with the spiders web from Tiddly Inks with mod podge and then onto orange cardstock. This was attached to a frame with foam tape. Her cauldren was a freebie from Shelly's Images on her fright night and the black cats are a Stamp It Crazy image stamped in black onto black card stock and the eye's painted with florescent red paint. These act as the anchor on this simple easel card.
The frame was made from orange cardstock, foam taped onto black cardstock with a shiny black behind the aperture. all this was then surrounded by burnt orange tape. This is loosely following the October sketchy over on the Smeared and Smudged forum


I'm also entering this into the Art on the Darkside challenge for Black and Orange with 1 other colour as optional, And Haunted Design House for their Magical Mayhem.



and Witchy close up......

Sleepy Hollow

Tim Burton and his films have long been a major source of enjoyment in my family. The kids were dragged up on them. The Burtonesque Dolls blog has been one of the blogs I have followed since it was first "on air" because of that. Unfortunately though, for one reason or another, I haven't always managed to enter their challenges. This week I am in time to enter my little offering because it's only sunday night. This week the highlighted work of Mr Burton is the film "Sleepy Hollow". The Dolls are teaming up with Tiddly Inks this week for their gothic challenge so am entering this card into both.
Using the odd digi stamp from Digital Doodling and silhouette images sourced from google, all pieced onto cardstock covered in two-tone voile. Depending on the light source the background is either black or red. I felt this would add to an eerie feeling.
