Macabre Monday: I scream for ice cream!

The new Macabre Monday challenge is up!

The Minions would like you to watch this short film, and be inspired by it.

Cute, right?
I made a list of possible bits of inspiration while I was watching the film.
Checkered floor, boy and girl, ice cream, scary man, kid in a blender, blended kid.
And this is what I came up with...

Since I didn't have a blender stamp, I had to improvise a bit.

I used this cool checkered background from Tiddly Inks and 

used stamps from Inkadinkado's (?) SPLAT! set to bloody up the

background. The red embossing powder I use smells like cherries.

Added bonus!

I stamped Spider Girl from Stampotique, colored her with Copics, 

and fussy cut her and her spider out. I highlighted them both a bit 

with a white gel pen. I also wanted to tie in the whole ice cream thing, so 

I drew up a small ice cream cone and added it to her dress.

I just had to have this spider web die from LaLa Land (I think).

Cut it twice, and sparkled it up a bit with Crystal Stickles.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Be sure to drop by HDH and see the other incredibly inspiring work

for this challenge.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Scary Fairy

The current challenge over at HDH is

Frightening Fairies.

Pick a fairy, and make it creepy. Simple enough, right?

I was thinking a rogue Tooth Fairy who starts

pulling kid's teeth herself. With some rusty pliers.

But that didn't pan out, so I went a simpler route.

This is my "Death's Touch Fairy".

Whatever flora he touches, dies in seconds.

Kind of a harbinger of death for the flowers.

I started off with a cheesy plastic skeleton from Mike's.

I roughly painted him black, and heated his joints to make them pliable so 

I could bend them into a sitting position. I fashioned raggedy wings from

kraft glassine, distressed them, and attached them to the fairy's back. 

I colored a paper rose using the same colors of Dylusions sprays that I used

on the TH Tattered Flower, sitting atop some sphagnum moss in the bottom of

this recycled candle jar. Lastly, I added some crushed glass glitter to the center

of the Tattered Flower for some sparkle.   

That's my scary fairy.

Now show me yours!!!

Enter your Frightening Fairy over at HDH, here.

  

Let the Creepmas festivities begin!!

The first day of Creepmas has arrived!! Huzzah!!

Hopefully, you are joining me from two different,

but equally awesome, blog hops.

The first being the original, 13 Days of Creepmas hop,

 

and the second one being the St. Dennis 13 Days of Creepmas blog hop.

 

 

That's a whole lotta hops!

The hop order for both hops is in my sidebar.

Hopefully, there will be minimal confusion.

 

My first project for Creepmas is a Creepmas card.

Every year, I intend to send out handmade cards to everyone on my list,

but by the middle of December I usually admit defeat

and break out with the (oh the horror!) store bought cards.

Yeah, I said it. I sell out on occasion. So sue me.

   

Now who wouldn't love to receive a holiday card like this?!

It's both, creepy and festive!!

 

I used one of the many fabulous Creepmas images drawn by the talented,

Rick St. Dennis.

This lovely little gal is called, "I love my prezzies".

She can be found HERE in Rick's Etsy shop.

In keeping with the Creepmas theme, I added a handmade

paper bat button, with some candy striped twine and a fitting sentiment sticker. 

 

And let's not overlook this trio of menacing parcels.

I would have had no problem waiting until Dec. 25th to open my gifts

as a kid, if they looked at me like this!

 

Well, it appears that you still have quite a bit of hopping to do,

so I won't keep you any longer.
