MACABRE MONDAY(LATE) AND TRY IT ON TUESDAY

Sorry for being a day late posting this.... we have a new challenge for you at MACABRE MONDAYS.....this week we are sponsored by SIMPLY BETTY STAMPS and our theme is....

"E.M.O."

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
using items that begin with an 'E', 'M' and an 'O'.
For example:
E: Emo image, Edge punch, Embellishments, Embossing, Eggplant, Ephemera, Eight
M: Material, Medium, Mists, Matts, Metal, Magic, Magenta, Messy, Mesh, Maroon, Mint
O: Orange, Oval, Old, Ornamental, Octagonal, Oblong, Obsidian (black), Overlay, Organza, Olive You only have to have one of each of the letters represented in your piece.


I was given this rather cute vampire image to play with.... so i made up a little creepy scene and made it into a coffin shaped card.
I coloured my background 'EMERALD'.....'MASKED' my image.... used 'OBSIDIAN' (black) card and gems.
I coloured the background and image with promarkers.... i stamped creepy branches in pale gray, medium grey and then in black.... finally i sponged black ink over the whole piece to give it a misty/foggy feel.
I hope you can find time this week to play along with us.


I shall enter this card in the following challenges,

Now on to TRY IT ON TUESDAY..... and be warned....this is completely different to the card above... sick bucket at the ready...?



Our new challenge has been chosen by my teamie GEORGINA.... and its to alter something(anything you fancy) on a DREAM theme.

I used the words from an Abba song.... my Grandad loves Abba.... this damned song rattles around in my head...

i painted a dark wood frame cream, sanded it, then stamped cracks on it in a pale blue.... i heat embossed the edges with embossing powder i mixed myself.... i used the same powder on the silk leaves, diecuts and some of the flowers....

i made all the flowers, some fabric, some from torn scrunched up paper... the image is a victorian scrap i've had forever.... i printed the song words out on the puter... spray painted the paper... stamped swirls in paint.... used gems, lace, pearls.... made a little fancy thing for the top out of clay.... metal butterflys.... and the dreaded glitter.....

WHAT CAN I SAY.... I'VE GONE GIRLY!

i'll enter this into the following challenges....
