Halloween is Hoppin' at Tiddly Inks!

By -
I was so happy to get this done in time for Tiddly Inks Halloween Hop!  The hop is running 6pm CST on July 22 to 6pm CST on July 24... and I have a feeling there will be a TON of participants for this one :)  For additional deets or to start hoppin', just pop over to the TI Challenge blog!



Now, on to the show :)  I chose Gossmere for my very first EVER TI image... I know!  Can you believe I've waited this long?  Isn't she freakin' cute?!  I just can't decide if she is a vamp or a witch... either way, she's got a princess complex, right?!



Digi:  Gossmere (TI)
Rubber Stamp:  Delightfully Spooky (TAC)
Paper:  Bazzill, PTI white & Neenah cardstocks
Ink:  VersaFine Onyx
Other:  Tim Holtz embossing folder, EK Success & MS border punches, spider confetti, MM felt flower, black felt flower (handmade), misc. gems, Scor-bug, silver glitter pen
Copics:  0, BV0000, BV20, BV23, YG01, YG03, YG91, G24, V01, V06, V09, V99


These photos are horrible... even clicking to make them bigger might not help.  I really need a little spot to set up so I can take pics at night without them turning out icky... dang it.  Believe it or not, but the plum violet cardstock matches her dress perfectly.  And I'm really happy with how well her blue-violet skin turned out  :)

What do you think?

With that skin tone she must be a vampire ... and quite a lovely one at that. So many great ideas (the colour combos, the chain, the border punch designs) to remember from this one.

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
