HDH038 - Voodoo Witchery

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 HDH038.
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:
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?!!  ;)

compared to the last time you used this image, she had some work done... Man alive she is gorgeous! Compelling, drawing you into her eyes, making you want to touch her velvety skin... deeper, deeper into her world.

damn you got new Tim toys too?

It is written in stone (somewhere) that I must journey to your abode, plant myself and use as much of your craft goodies, food and hospitality as possible before the next blue moon!!! Yes, High Priestess... I must obey!!!

ooerrr have just bought a new stamp this week that will be perfect for this.

I am wondering when you will be doing the next awards?
Love it. Those eyes follow you around, very haunting.
Going to have to really put the thinking cap on for this one.

Looks like I missed the deadline on this. OOps. But then again - What I have here does not compare to some of the other pieces of artwork. Maybe next time.........
