DRAGONDAY AT SMEARED INK

Wednesday is my day on the DT blog at SMEARED INK..... it would be great if you can go, take a look and become a follower..... please? ( click on the title of this post..... there is some really inspiring stuff on there!)
I have been having POE withdrawal symptons.... and after seeing the great sketch at CREATE4FUN, i thought i'd do another 'wall-art' piece.
I have used POE from QUOTE THE RAVEN, and 3 images from HOLY CITY.... all from SMEARED INK of cause.

I stamped and masked Poe, on a piece of very thick board from the back of a watercolour pad,and over stamped with a grave stamp.... i coloured it with ink then i triple embossed it to make a tile. I covered 2 other squares of the board with faric and stamped on them... i washed over those with ink too.... and distressed and aged the edges.


I used a double page i had removed from the Poe book i am altering, and cut a circle, inked and distressed . I used screw style brads.... and metal photo corners..... i made the 3 cameo thingies.... added the words 'love and dream', and used 2 bits of off cut wall paper for my backings.... both aged and distressed....alot!

I shall enter this in the following challenges....
