Simply Betty

By -
How much fun is this image?!  LOVE IT.  This is the first Simply Betty Stamps I've inked up... and I can't wait for more :)

I probably shouldn't have made her a redhead... she kinda blends a bit with her outfit.  See the fantabulous red velvet paper?  Vintage flocked wallpaper gifted to me from Creepy Glowbugg... LOVE IT!  It is the entire reason why I gave Betty a red outfit :)  Thanks, man!


The sentiment is great, no?  It is continued on the inside:  "around someone's throat."  LOL!  Thank you, Stamp It Crazy!  I know the feeling quite well ;)  You can't tell, but I spritzed the black base with a bit o' Copper Glimmer Mist... wonderfully shimmery.


Stamps:  Betty (SBS), sentiment (SIC)
Paper:  black (TAC), Bazzill & vintage wallpaper
Other:  Copper Glimmer Mist, border punches (MS & EK Success), misc. ribbon & jewel
Copics:  0, E000, E00, E11, G12, G14, G28, YR02, YR04, YR07, YR18, V99, R29, R35, R37


I totally screwed up coloring her eyes... I reversed the pupils and the reflections... whoops.  Those are some BIG shiny reflections in her eyes!  Oh well... eff it... I'll know next time :)

Gorgeous! I have tried quite a few times to incorporate that paper into a project, only to fail each time.I will force it into something very soon!
I love the way you colored Betty. I had to refer back to the website and DT members projects to see how they colored her eyes and such. Sometimes it's hard to decipher the lines before coloring.

I love what you've done for the colors! I'm not so sure I (or most others) would have colored those eyes either. Their sort of crazy! I think they turned out great. I would've not even known, had you not said anything.

May we have a quick word?

By Susan Says (Stupid Stuff) -

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...
