"Nevermore"
Raven Tree Slimline Make
by Val
 
For Day 3 of our Poe CREATivities today Val has a POEtastic Raven themed make with a wonderful colourful yet moody sky to inspire you!
 She created her moody colourful sky with Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide inks on white cardstock then printed my new Raven Tree Slimline Silhouette digi stamp directly onto the inked cardstock.  She trimmed the panel to size and applied Black Soot Distress Oxide to the outer edges to further enhance the moodiness of the scene.
 

 
Next she printed out the Distressed Raven Nevermore digi stamp from my classic Poe collection of POEtastic illustrations.
 
 LeighSBDesigns Distressed Raven Nevermore
 
 She fussy cut the Distressed Raven out with scissors and adhered it to the bottom right corner of her make.
 She then mounted her scene panel onto a side fold card made from black cardstock to complete her POEtastic make.
 
Do join in on our Edgar Allan Poe CREATivities by playing in our 5 day mini Poe Hop where you are all invited to share your own Poe inspired makes using any stamp company products!  All the mini Poe Hop info and the linky are in my Day 1 post HERE!

Remembering Ike
with makes by Ike
 
Today I want to remember Ike, Sue EisenHauer, who sadly passed away at the end of AprilπŸ˜”  I met Ike when I first discovered Smeared Ink way back in 2011 and we became friends through our love of cats, Edgar Allan Poe and Halloween and then later as fellow digi stamp designers.  Ike sponsored prizes and played in many of LeighSBDesigns blog hops and I know she is busy happily crafting in Heaven right now so I wanted to re-share some of Ike's makes today❤️

Day 4
"Nevermore"
Raven Gothic Window SVG Cutz
Easel Card by Val
 
For Day 4 of our POEtastic 7th annual Poe Appreciation Blog Hop LeighSBDesiger Val created a POEtastic easel card!


Val used my new Raven Gothic Window SVG Cutz set, "NEVERMORE" text from my Distressed Raven Nevermore digi stamp and for a lovely touch of greenery the Pine Bough from my Christmas Tree Charms Lace SVG Cutz set made an appearance on this stunning easel card.

 

Val used her Silhouette Portrait 3 electronic cutting machine to cut the Raven Gothic Window lace overlay from black cardstock and the mat layers from Hobby Craft Mixture of OmbrΓ© Cardstocks and the Pine Bough from green glitter cardstock.


Val then embellished the Raven Gothic Window lace overlay with Tim's clear Distress Rock Candy Glitter applied with a Quickie glue pen and used Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink on the “Nevermore” word.  She then completed her card by constructing an easel stand out of black cardstock.

Day 2
"Ode to Poe"
Art Journal Cover and Page 1
by Val
 
For Day 2 of our POEtastic 7th annual Poe Appreciation Blog Hop LeighSBDesiger Val is here with the start of her wonderful "Ode to Poe" Art Journal.  Today I'm sharing her POEtastic cover and page 1!


Val is using a 6 x 6 inch black journal book for her Poe themed art journal and decorated the front cover with Ode to Poe and the "NEVERMORE" text is from my Distressed Raven Nevermore design.


She also used Stampendous Fran-tage Chunky White and deep impression embossing enamel to embellish the cover.


The first page of Val's POEtastic art journal is handsomely decorated with Poe's signature from the Edgar Allan Poe Portrait and Signature digi stamp set!  She created a wonderful background paper using the Poe Signature design and also embellished the gorgeous embossed panel with it too.


Val used the following supplies to create her first page:  Gemini Embossing Folder, Spectrum Noir Midas Metallic Silver pigment ink pad, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot Distress Oxide ink pads, Hobby Craft smooth white yardstick and black cardstock.

 Snap up the digi stamp sets featured today and also check out all my new POEtastic SVG Cutz 2022 release and the entire Edgar Allan Poe collection in the video and then shop LeighSBDesigns Poe Sale on now for the duration of the hop!
