 "Zombie BOO!"
card by Leigh

 I'm back to creep you out today with my Zombie themed card featuring
The Zombie Stare💀


BOO!....that zombie really snuck up on us and gave us a hell of a scare didn't he!  EEEEEK💀
 

I love making tall narrow cards and couldn't resist using half of The Zombie Stare's face on this one!  I wanted to create a 3D graveyard scene and have him really close and creepy!  The wrought iron fence in the background is stamped and embossed with black embossing powder onto another one of my Distress Oxide galaxy skies.  I coloured my Zombie with Copics, fussy cut him out and layered onto the background with pop dots.  To make the Zombie appear even closer I adhered the tombstones, die cut from black cardstock with Picket Fence Distress Ink highlights, in the mid-ground between the stamped fence and the Zombie.  In the foreground I added the die cut wrought iron fence and gate as the final layer at the bottom of the card.


For even more fun dimension I added the die cut spooky tree branches along the top and the word "BOO" on the front fence.  Those were die cut from green cardstock, distressed with Black Soot Distress Ink and given the crackle treatment with the cracks enhanced with black antiquing gel.  After roughing up the edges of the main panel with Tim's paper distresser tool I layered it onto orange cardstock and applied Black Soot DI and then mounted everything onto a folded card made from black cardstock.


Closer look at the details with all the yummy layers and textures!


Looks wicked with the sun casting shadows! 


  Neo is definitely not a scardy cat😸


Spooky in the evening glow too💀

  4. that one makes your skin crawl - it is really
    creepy. Having the face peer in from the
    side, the greenery above him, the face
    being popped off the background - gruesome.
    I'll still thank you for sharing.
