My first project features His Excellency the Count with his very own "calling card" I had to add some bloody red ink splats to make it more terrifying!! Bwahhhh haaahahhaaa!!
My second project features some pretty scroll work and a poem to keep you safe when the witches appear this Halloween.
I added all sorts of pretty embellishments to my card including a pretty doily, lace, and inked foliage. To make the lace accent under the flower I threaded button twine through the holes in a 7" length of lace and tied the ends together to form a circle. The orange beaded spray came from the "wedding" section of the craft store, and was originally white. I colored the pearls with Copic markers to add the brilliant color.
And for those of you who know I am a gardener - here is a photo of a bloom from my very own St. John's Wort in my yard. The flowers are really quite spectacular!

Love the splatter on the music sheet Jeanne! and the great plaid on your 2nd creation! thanks for showing a real St. John's wort - I was wondering what color they were!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! Love those blood splatters!!
ReplyDeleteCount Dracula is so scary looking...especially with all that "blood" scattered around. I had to look very closely at your second card to catch all the details...that lace? So smart. The inked foliage? Wow. Just too many neat little details...almost forgot, that corner piece in bright orange? Unbelievably creative. You really blew me away today Jeanne. I also love the beautiful St. John's Wort from your garden. I never pictured that plant as being so pretty with such an ugly name!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't wait and see what you made ...you did not disappoint! Beautiful cards Jeanne . I bought my black beeds last year from the wedding section too..great stuff there.

Truly delightful Jeanne! Such creativity, not only with your card designs, but I just love that you created these amazing embellishments. So very clever!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Count image - both elegant and quite spooky too! I really like the splash of red - works a treat. I can see the splashes working on grunge cards for my boy too!
