Freaker's Free for All

Quick post today.

This is for the Macabre Monday challenge at
Haunted Design House,

"Freaker's Free for All".

Basically, anything goes!

I chose to work with "Vamp Me" from our sponsor this week,

Tiddly Inks.

I used a Spica glitter pen to add sparkle to the Vampire and his

intended victim. Kinda sucks that the sparkle doesn't show in pics. 

I also used the headstone and the coffin from another

Tiddly Inks set called, "Vampire Extra pack".  

I adhered everything onto a large Spellbinder floral oval to

anchor all the elements.

Lastly, I added Stickled paper roses to finish it off.

That's it for me. Busy, busy, busy.

Less than 92 days until Hallowe'en!!

I'd like to enter this card in the current challenge at

Tiddly Inks Challenges - use your favorite TI image

Calling all Truebies!!

Season 5 starts this Sunday!

Can I get a "hell yeah!"?!
I missed it so much, I have been watching the reruns. A lot.

Hey! I just noticed that my favorite ripped werewolf is missing

from this group shot! We can't have that now, can we?

Let me fix that.

 

There, that's so much better.
How you doin'?
Woof!

Anyhoo, I digress.
And I drool, too.

The challenge this week at Haunted Design House
is to pay homage to the enigma that is
HBO's True Blood.

Here is my collage card.

I had lots of elements that I wanted to use on this card.

Believe it or not, there were more bits of ephemera that didn't make it.

It's a bit much, but I think it strikes a decent balance.

I was able to use yet another of these weird bat-like brads,

and destash my ever growing collection of feathers.

I think they procreate in the jar where I keep them.

Every time I grab one, three more pop out!

I also finally broke out the weird (for me) TH Distress Stickles

in Antique Linen. I never quite knew how to use this product

in the past, but it gave the aged piece a nice sheen. I ended up

using my finger to spread the schtuff around until I was happy

with the appearance.

I used this image a few years ago for another True Blood card

I made, but I used UTEE and the cracked glass effect this time.

It really gives a nice weight to the card as well.

That's it for now.

Join us over at HDH for our Truebie or not to Truebie challenge.

At least stop by and see what the other talented Minions have

made to inspire and seduce you with this week.

Truebie or not truebie HDH043

This week's Macabre Monday over at Barb's is a True Blood challenge.

I have been a vampire fan since I first saw the original "Dracula", and then my 'thirst'

was further whetted with the wonderful ramblings of

Anne Rice and her fanged lovelies, Lestat and Louis. 

I used some red vellum and punched it with the MS drippy goo punch.

Then I added Stickles for some glimmer.

Nice bow.

Only took 1/2 yard of ribbon and 15 minutes!

*************WARNING*************

If you are easily offended by juvenile drawings and dirty words

DO NOT scroll down to the next card.

You have been warned!

  

I had some goodies left over from the first card,

so I decided a second card was in order.

Love the little mud puppy!!!!

This is the inside of the card.

It's the actual sign from the show, and I had to do some

hunting to find it unedited like this.

LOVE the show.

Lafayette is my favorite character and Eric and Pam are my

favorite vampires.

I decided not to read the books once I started watching the show.

Too many indiscrepancies, and the adaptations are never as good as the books.

Enough fun time. 

I'm off to work on Father's Day cards (still!).
