Haunted Design House

It's that time of week again when the Mistress lets us out of our cages to wreak a little havoc on hump day! We are showing off our projects for this week's Macabre Monday Music Mayhem challenge. Mine is kind of a stretch, but I really wanted to use this image from Delicious Doodles . Her name is Steampunk Sally , but for my purposes her new name is ... " Whole Lotta Neon Rosie " inspired by AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie".   I had all these new neon glitters that were just screaming to be played with, and then this image has been just daring me to give it some life. I even used some of my fluorescent Copics. I now know why I need fluorescent orange and yellow. And now for something completely opposite in both song choice and color palette. Andrea is joining me today and she has used Smashing Pumpkin's "Ugly" as her inspiration. So, now that you have seen how easy it is, pick a son...

I'm running a bit late, but I have somethin' cool to share. This week the Macabre Monday challenge is a recipe . I'll just put it out there, that I suck with recipes. Whether it's a baking recipe (totally suck!!!) or an epoxy recipe (you don't even wanna know!), I usually have a hard time  conforming to the perameters of a set and specific recipe.  I think I did okay this time. First we start with the 2 layers - black card and DCWV dp. This paper is perfect for this cameo portrait image. Then we add  1 main image - "Just Bitten" from our sponsor Strange Skin . The image is layered onto a die cut (punched) element which is a floral oval Spellbinders Nestie. I am really pleased with how she turned out. Lastly we have the puffy satin bat trim , the odd, yet bat-like metal brad with rhinestones, and the last adornment of four black pearls . Ta-dah! There is still plenty of time to get your recipe toget...

This week's Macabre Monday theme is turning out to be quite the challenging challenge.  C opy A nd S teal E verything from one of the Minion's brilliant DT samples this week. We even made it a little easier by allowing you to just pull inspiration from one of the Minions, but make sure it is obvious who you are CASE ing.  I didn't even try to make it any easier with my sample. It's really cool though, huh? Surprise, surprise! I went with a zombie angel theme. I hand painted and zombified each rotten little cherub (5 of them), and then affixed them to each side of this cute little jewelry box that I also repainted and made fancy. I put together a little collage piece where the photo is supposed to go, that matches the theme perfectly. A little red Stickles to make the blood sparkle, and this project is fini!  Inside shot of the box. Where else are you going to put your brain rings?! ...
