A couple of creepy crawlies for you today...

Joy.  I finished my HDH049 Macabre Monday card last night... and NOT without difficulty, I might add.  I will suggest to you that if you want to cover Grunge Paper with patterned paper, do it PRIOR to die-cutting it :)  Yes, I thought it would be easy to just glue it on after... notsomuch.


The plan was to Glimmer Mist the GB so that the grey wouldn't show on the edges... but the mist would probably cause issues with the patterned paper, so THAT'S why I tried it.  I had heated the GB after misting because I am too impatient to wait for it to dry on it's own... it changed shape and shrunk in one direction.  Yeah... totally eff'd up... JUST so you know.  :)  So I just ripped the paper off, sprayed & inked the back and used it anyway... paperless.  Worked out ok, me thinks.

Stamps:  skull (Artful Illusions), web (Inkadinkado)
Paper:  GrungePaper (Tim Holtz), black & premium white cardstocks (TAC)
Other:  glittery spiders (party supply store), Scor-Bug, birdcage die (Tim Holtz), Glimmer Mist, ribbon (HL)
Copics:  0, BV0000, BV20, BV23

I do LOVE the dimension you can give the cage... I should have used GrungeBoard, maybe... it perhaps would hold the shape more, I don't know.


AND, to balance out my dark creepiness, Macabre Mistress Oz has offered up this bit o' cuteness for your inspiration:

Adorable, right?  The spidey stamp is from Stamp It Crazy, the web is Inkadinkado, and she colored the spider with Copics.  I'm glad you were up for the challenge, Oz!  You are the best :)

oh Barb, not one but two purple glittery spiders!! I am in Heaven....

I am so out of it I forgot about credits and descriptions... I bet I have to sit in the corner for that.

Yes the spidey is SIC Barb's (hehe love saying that) and the web is from Inkadinkado. I used Copics to color and added all the little Barbie-dots myself.

Yes, I named the dots after our one and only Divine Leader Barb. She is the one who got me added them in on everything and I thank her for that.

Throwing my head back and releasing a long and very therapeutic cackle.... Oz

Barb, great design! You and I are on the same wavelength with sticking anything but a bird in that TH cage. I absolutely adore all the purple and so happy to see Oz' creepy creation, too ;D You both rock!
