More cuteness... ugh!

;) Seriously, I just wanted to share one of the new Halloweenie stamp sets available from TAC. I was lucky enough to be asked to submit samples for their latest publication: Inspiration Avenue, and this is one that made it in!!

Yep... CUTE! I stamped & colored the witchie, masked her off and sponged the moon, grass & sky. I paper pieced her little skirt and then added some shadows to her & the sentiment with a q-tip.

Got out the ol' sewing machine and stitched a couple of edges of patterned paper after distressing them. Add some sheer ribbon & a glittery plastic spider and... voila!

Stamps: Spooky Girls, Happy Haunting

Paper: Penelope SWIC, White UltraSmooth & Penelope cardstocks

Ink: Landscape, Violette, Starry Night & Noir Palettes, Purple Hydrangea Versamagic (I think!)

Other: Penelope Ribbon, PrismaColor pencils w/ mineral oil, glittery spider

I'll be sharing a few more cute ones over the next several posts, so I hope that's ok ;)

What do you think?

The Evil Returns

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.

It's a Love/hate thing and the Gruesome twosomes

Here some more LOVE/HATE  inspiration from the Minions, they were allowed off their chains just long enough to create you some creepy projects.  You all know we Minions are allergic to cute, pink and fluffy so please don't enter traditional Valentines stuff in the Love/Hate challenge, just make it bloody, scary, gothic, creepy, twisted and dark. Trust me you don't want to risk being haunted by the Minions for entering traditional "nice"Valentine projects.......let's keep things creepy OK? This was what the Minions came up with this time.... Creepy Glowbugg decided it was time to change this little Cupid into something amazingly devlish   this is much better if you ask me ......  Temptress of Terror Teri created an awesome digital piece,......or should I say Dish...... think this picture made you all hungry...it did make the Minions drool. Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Mo altered a plastic frame and a broken heart of glass into

May we have a quick word?

It's time for a new Monthly Macabre challenge here at the Haunted Design House! Please remember, this challenge is for your darker, gothic, macabre pieces, NOT your sweet and clean and suitable-for-your-pastor's-mother pieces. We understand that in a world of diversity and depth, there has to be some cute, sweet stuff out there, but we simply don't want to see it here. The Minions, despite all appearances to the contrary, are delicate creatures, and insipidly clean and sweet creations turn our perverted little stomachs. So, with that said, our challenge for May is  May we have a quick word?   This month we'd like you to either use some text somewhere on your creation OR make it a quick make - less than a day from start to finish. The Minions' two favourite creations will get to display the May Macabre Masterpiece badge, and at the end of the year the person with the most badges will receive a glorious prize from the Minions. And, each month, the ba
