HDH058 Magical Mayhem

This week we have a "Magical Mayhem" challenge

for Haunted Design House's Macabre Monday.

Again, I assumed that my personal connection to the challenge would make 

this project a breeze.

Wrong!

Have you ever been so determined for a project and all of it's

elements to work that it ends up looking a bit forced or just not

even close to what you had hoped for?

Yeah, me too.

I have worked much harder on suckier cards, but I really had

high hopes for this one.

I broke out with my Witch board (like a Ouija board) image

and used Versamark and stardust embossing powder to give

it a magical glow.

Now I know the jury is still out on whether or not the Ouija board is

magical or not, but how can something mass produced by Parker Brothers

and sold at Toys R Us, have magical qualities?

Just a thought.

I have really been in to the cracked glass effect and wanted to use it on this image,

but the more I handled the embossed piece, the cloudier or less shiny it appeared.

The nice thing about embossing is that you can reheat it and start all over.

I ended up adding stardust powder to the image and then used clear thick embossing

powder to give it a final shiny finish.

I added one of my new frame nesties and some rhinestones to try to 

shine this turd.

Eh!

Please don't let this have a direct effect on your impression of the 

challenges at Haunted Design House.

The other gals on the DT are wonderful and pretty consistent with their

awesome projects.

Did I mention I don't feel well and have a TON of projects to be completed in the next two weeks? I'm a little overwhelmed.
