MACABRE MONDAYS

Its Monday so it has to be time for a brand new challenge at MACABRE MONDAY, this week it is................................................... Pleasure & Pain

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
using something you love and something you hate.
Stamping, digis, a particular colour, a style, a technique... no limits!

I have made a 12''x12'' wall piece ...... mainly using ravens, but E.A. POE had to be there too.

My PLEASURE is...STAMPING.... POE...RAVENS.... GOTHIC...CREEPY..... BLACK.... you know the sort of stuff i like..... My PAIN is....matting onto SILVER MIRRI CARD.... i really dislike the stuff....yuck!!!!!

I have stamp all the images onto white cardstock with either grey or black ink.....some are masked.... some are double stamped. All the edges have been ink distressed.

The stamps are mostly SMEARED INK, CHERRY PIE and INKADINKADOO.

We hope you have time this week to share your pleasure and pain with us.

I shall enter this art piece into the following challenges,
