TUESDAY TAGGERS DT.

The theme at taggers this week is 'A SPLASH OF COLOUR'. So i took it literally and splashed some cwatercolours onto watercolour paper, pulled it out a bit in places, inked the edges with black.
The stamp of the birds is an inkadinkadoo but i dont know where i got mona from. Sorry.
I highlighted parts of monas face with a chinese white pencil, because where i choose to stamp her was rather red and i lost her features!!!! Note to my self.... BE MORE AWARE!!!
Please come and join us at taggers this week... i had great fun with this... i love getting mucky mits!
Thank your for looking

Vampires

I had another play and this is the result. I used a stamp from 'scrapz' of a lovely oriental lady and gave her fangs and red eyes.... the bat and gravestones are from inkadinkadoo. I coloured her face with promarkers then did alot of shading with ink.
I shall enter her in the 'Thank god its friday challenge', which is 'vampires', Rainbowladys challenge' which is 'halloween' and again in the challenge at 'Darkness inspirations'... whose challenge is still 'Vampires'.

Sorry so late this week and not doing many challenges...but girls and oldies poorly and had workmen here for 3 days putting a new boiler in... the week just vanished.

The challenge this week at 'macabre mondays' is to make something with movement..... i used non sequtur stamps and inks to colour.

The skelly-bone is stamped 3 times and decoupaged.... then its mounted on a tiny bit of acetate so he wobbles and appears to dance in the moonlight.
