Fuzzy stuff with teeth

I am super late for the current challenge at Haunted Design House.
We're looking for fur, feathers, teeth, and claws
Pretty simple prompt.

I decided to work in my small Dylusions journal. 
I still haven't worked up the courage to do anything with the larger
journal. This one is much less intimidating.
I began by using Dylusions inks on the background. 
Followed by some TH stencils, rub-ons, and stamps.  
This made the perfect laboratory feeling background for these

I used the cage image and added a title onto it in Gimp.
I thought I was being clever here. 

Isn't this frog just perfection?
I used some red foil embossing powder to give some sparkle to the
infectious waste stamps. The Dylusions sucks up the Versamark, so you have to 
work fast to get the embossing powder to stick. Still got a nice effect without the
actual dimension of the embossed powder.

I have some strange stamps that I rarely get to use.
Sometimes they're so strange they're hard to work into a project.
This stamp is perfect for this page.
That is a money paw in a jar, in case you were wondering.   

This little guy has probably had too much lithium already.
And probably some toxic radiation, too.

The original Pet Shop images comes with a zombie dude,
but I dropped my black pen right on his face and couldn't save him.
I did however have this awesome Vincent Price stamp that covered
quite nicely. I colored him to look as though the toxic glow was
emanating from the toxic guinea pig.   

Can't have a laboratory without a monkey head wet specimen.
I am not a fan of wet specimens. At all. But I do like me some 
taxidermy and skeletal remains. Just not wet ones.

Listen to them....

The current challenge over at HDH this week (for the second week) is,
Children of the Night.

We are being sponsored by my super talented Minion Sistah
Ike of Ikes Art, who has her own digi shop and challenge blog.

I used the gorgeous Vaguely Goth image and a sentiment from the interwebs. 
I used a MS Iron Fence border punch on some vintage silver striped wallpaper.
I added some silver snaps to give a bit more interest.

I did a little camouflaging of my lackluster Copic hair coloring,
with some loose glitter application. Meh. I guess it worked.
She sure is sparkly!!

Drop by HDH and see what else we have on display to whet
your creative appetite.

Hiding in the Corners

Have you started your project for this week's HDH challenge yet?
Hiding in the Corners
is the challenge. All you need to do is make something
sinister and adorn the corners. Easy enough?
I chose to indulge myself, and feed my latest crafting addiction.

Artist Trading Cards.
I used Ike's "Honey" image for this serial killer
inspired card. Gotta love a crazy hott bitch with a meat cleaver!
Blood splatters and all corner adornments accounted for.
For this little masterpiece, I have used another
of Ike's images called, "WitchyMou".
Isn't she wonderfully horrible?!
I mounted the image onto an old dictionary page starting with
"blood root". I highlighted the bloody words with some Brick
and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks and a water painter.  
I used some Y26 &Y28 on her teeth and then used a glaze pen
to give them a slimy sheen. I did the same for her eyes. Slimy, I say! 
As the piece de resistance, I used a preciously tiny polymer clay
cauldron, crafted from my talented Minion Sister, Andrea.
I added some potion vapors and bubbles from paper scraps and Stickles.
Perfecto!
