HDH043 - Truebie or Not Truebie

By -
HDH Macabre Monday Rules:
1. Create a dark and macabre SOMETHING (card, scrap page, altered item, whatever) that follows the specific Macabre Monday challenge given. Cutesy is fine, but creepy is better :)
2. You have until the following Sunday night @ 5pm central time to post your creation and please leave a direct-link back here.
3. If you upload to any online galleries (TACPCC, S&S, PCP, SCS, etc.), please tag the title using HDH043.
4. Weekly giveaways!  Some weeks will be loaded with loot, others not-so-much... but the thrill is in the win, right?!  Some prizes shall be by random drawing, others hand picked... and I'm not telling you ahead of time :)
5. I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twosome (my top two favorite creations) from all the players. At the end of every month these will be compiled and a Master of Macabre will be selected. He/she will be asked to be a guest blogger for the following month, if they so wish, and receive a little giftie from me... this could be stamp sets, handmade items, papers, halloweenie embellishments... you just never know.

Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:
Truebie or Not Truebie

 THAT is the question.  You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween page, project or card using inspiration from the HBO series True Blood.   Don't watch the show?  Then simply watch a few of the series trailers & episodes HERE!  What will it be... the Eric/ Sookie/ Bill dynamic?  Or maybe the southern setting of Bons Temps, Louisiana inspires you.  Then again, there is the old standby:  vampires.


Here's my take on the challenge!  I know... A:  it's actually done & B:  it's done on time :)
Though I made the image into a vampire with khaki hair, it reminded me a bit of Sookie.  Wistful and dreamy... who exactly is she thinking of?  Bill or Eric?


Like the flower?  Yeah, another tissue paper one... kinda looks like a mum, doesn't it?  I inked it with violet & black Glimmer Mists.  It's wonderfully sparkly in person... subtle.


Stamps:  Dreaming Gothic Lady (Stamp It Crazy), Label Lingo (TAC hostess set)
Paper:  white ultrasmooth, black (TAC) & Bazzil cardstocks
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo, Glimmer Mist
Other:  Amelia ribbon (TAC), Scor-Bug, tissue paper, red Stardust gel pen
Copics:  0, BV0000, BV20, YG03, YG91, V95, G24, YR23


Your turn for a little True Blood!  I know there must be a couple of Truebies that follow this blog... if not, maybe we'll create some ;)

It's very lovely! Just curiousity but do you send these out to people? I know they'd 'get it' coming from you. I just can't imagine myself sending out a 'bloody' vampire card saying thinking of you! LOL!

Fangtastic card, Barb! Love your interpretation of TB (the show, that is!) and that image is wickedly awesome! This would be the perfect card to send to Eric ;D

I am so inspired Barb! And ya know what that means! I'm gonna rock this challenge! I had to cancel HBO due to finances, but, I am contemplating getting it turned back on only for the season. I too, have a lustful eye for the one they call Eric.

OMG, what a hoot! I don't want any of you to spoil this. I just finished season one thanks to netflix and have season two at the top of my que....
Hopefully season two will explain why you love Eric, cause I am not to impressed yet. Also, why the hell does Bill have to talk like Elvis??? What a turn-off... or maybe it is all the drugs they are pumping into me. I am thinking my hearts belongs to the dog right now... hehe. I will try to get a card done... cross my fingers. Oz

No, Linda, Bill IS a walking, talking turn-off. I just don't see what Sookie sees in him, but Eric is tall, hott, and dangerous. Yummm!

WooHoo! Wish I had time to do some more for this challenge. Poor DH may not get handmade Father's Day cards from the kitties if I don't get crackin'. xxD

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.
