Here is my latest creation using another one of my Torrente images.
This card is for the fabulously gruesome, "Ode to the Bruise" Macabre Monday challenge at Haunted Design House,
and the first challenge from The Burtonesque Dolls, to use stripes.
Barb at HDH, challenged us to use 'bruise colors' like,
black, purple, yellow, and teal(?).
Done, done, and done!
I really wasn't feeling the teal until I happened upon this perfect shade of
putrification.
I shredded up the ends a bit to keep it creepy.
I used some striped vintage paper I found at a yard sale years ago. It came in a huge roll and I also got a roll of the most wickedly delicious red, flocked, whore house-type/boudoir, haunted mansion, wallpaper. Can't wait to use that!
Anyhoo, the striped paper is really old, but it is so cool and it also has a really neat texture to it.
I'm pretty sure it's not acid free, but then again neither am I.
This is AWESOME! Your coloring is really amazing and I LOVE the way you think! beautiful shading around the circle, too-Wow!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! The title alone makes me smile :) Once again, fantastic coloring and I love the paper (can't wait to use it!)... and the acid free comment made me LOL ;) Thanks so much for playing along with Macabre Monday!

Great card! Almost looks like all the bruises that I am carring with me. I wish they would also have those funny guys - not only the colours. Would be much more fun.
