Hotter than Hades!!

This week's Haunted Design House challenge is,

Hot as Hell in here!!

This was a difficult challenge for me. It was torturous 

to even come up with this simple layout.

I had mounds of grandiose plans for this gorgeous image

from SimplyBStamps. I colored her up over a week ago,

and then just kept pushing papers around for the last week.

My mojo must be on hiatus. 

Her name is Druscillia.

She is quite magnificent. Somethin' about those horns...

I struggled and I toiled over the sentiment for this card and

finally settled on one I received from my dear friend, Catherine.

Perfecto!

I used a lighter to burn the edges of the main image (yikes!),

and then almost completely burned up the sentiment.

I found it helpful to work over a sink and use a damp paper

towel to douse the embers. Setting fire to a perfectly good

image is scary. I had already wasted so much time, I shuddered

to even contemplate starting over after an arson episode.

I came close, but managed to singe strategically, and all is well.   

You still have time to fan the flames with us this week at HDH. 

The deadline to enter is Sunday at 5PM CST.
