In celebration of our 2nd Poe Hop we have NEW stamps and I've used them on my project today!  Woohoo!  These Zentangle inspired Ravens (available in various sizes) and Skellie are so much fun!

 Place an order, of any value, and receive TWO fabulous FREEBIE rubber stamps!  The special is open to everyone planet wide!  How Poesome is this "Nevermore" text and Raven😉

Now to share my project for Day 1 of the Poe Hop...an altered alphabet resin cube!  I found it on clearance last year and it already had a "P" on it...how could I resist😀

showing each side of the cube

 I used the following rubber stamps:
Lost Coast Designs newest Zentangle inspired Ravens:   Raven Mom small, Raven Right Small, Raven Left Small, Raven 1 and Small Skeleton as well as the Scalloped Flourish.
Carmen's Veranda:  Edgar Allan Poe portait and small Nevermore...which is one of the Poe Hop Freebies!

Here's a closer look at all the details!

In the photos below you can see the metallic gold flourishes.

I stamped the Ravens with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock cut into 2.5" square pieces and coloured them with Copics.  The images were masked with Pebeo masking fluid and the backgrounds done with Tea Dye, Aged Mahogany and Black Soot Distress inks.  The Nevermore text and Poe were stamped with black Archival ink and the Skeleton in London Fog Memento ink and the flourishes in Galaxy Gold Brilliance ink.  The cardstock panel edges were all distressed and I applied metallic gold rub-on creme to the roughened edges before adhering the panels to the cube which I'd already distressed a bit more with sandpaper.  I also added gold rub-on cream to the "P" and to all the edges of the cube as well.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed seeing my fun Poe cube.  I will have more Poe inspired projects to share over the duration of the hop too...I can't help myself, I just love Poe, so see you again soon😉

Now off you hop to see more fabulous Poe inspired creations by my fellow LCDesigners and Poe Fans!  Enjoy!

Happy Hopping
