A little Voodoo...

Well, a Voodoo image on a card, anyway.  I had been wanting to color up this Delicious Doodles image F.O.R.E.V.E.R. and just never found the time.  Well, lookie:

Isn't she wondermous?  I love this image, even if the rest of the card is just "ok"... Teri, I want to draw like you when (if?) I grow up :)  I think the next time I color her up, I'll go all "Hell's fire" on her... flame hair and all... ooooooo, me likey.

Don't you just LOVE that one stick pin... ouch... are you trying to say something, Teri?  Were you miffed at the hubby or something?!  :)

That's it for today, stalkers... I hope you enjoyed it!

Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:

Voodoo Witchery

 You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween page, project or card using images and/or sentiments of the voodoo persuasion.  Witch doctors, medicine men, deep south voodoo... or in my case:  a magical Rasta Voodoo Elfwitch :)  Check it:

I was going to color the skin of this fairy green, as is my usual tendency with fairies, but I had already stamped her on green cardstock.  So in order to create shadows and depth, I used a couple of violet-based colors... they created this beautiful plum-cocoa skin color!

You can barely see her pointy ears amongst her dreads, but they are there!  I used the Copic blender to remove color from her eye area... looks like green eyeshadow, no?  The moon is made from kraft packing paper (like grocery sacks) and sponged with ink.

Dig the awesome shape of this card front!!  It's one of Tim Holtz's open edge dies.  Me likey A LOT!  I added a copper orange piece to the back of the card so the funky edge would really show.

Stamps:  Elfwood w/ Dredlocks (Stamp It Crazy), sentiment (Viva Las Vegas)
Paper:  black (TAC), green & orange (Bazzill) cardstocks, and kraft packing paper
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo, Burnt Sienna & Orangerie Palettes
Other:  white gel pen, EK Success edger punch, Tim Holtz die, ribbon (HL)
Copics:  0, V95, V99, YR04, YR18, YR23, YR24, RV13, G85

Did I mention that this awesome image is up for grabs this week?  Yep!  Barb over at Stamp It Crazy, being the awesome person that she is, has offered up this rubber stamp!!  Thanks, Barb!!

So, let's see some voodoo magic, mon!  Are juju up for the challenge?!!  ;)
