Day 19 of 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop: Zombies by Leigh!

🎃Welcome Creative Friends to LeighSBDesigns 9th annual 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop🎃

We're close to the end of week 3 of our spooktacular 9th annual 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop already, we're having such a wicked good time the days are just whizzing by like bats out of hell🎃  Thank you everyone for all the faBOOlous creations you're sharing with us and all the love you're leaving as you hop along🎃

 If you're joining us for the first time today we are having a spooktacular time while we count down to Halloween in style🎃  Every day of October you will see inspirational eye candy shared here by me and Val as well as all the spooktacular creations shared by YOU, my Wicked Bloggers, in the Blog Hop Linky Party located at the bottom of my DAY 1 POST🎃  Plus, all the LeighSBDesigns digis art stamps featured every day are on FLASH SALE so you can take advantage of some creeptastic sales throughout October🎃

It's never too late to join the spooktivities and I've got PRIZES to give away too🎃
Full details on how to play and the hop rules are in my DAY 1 POST!
Please make sure you read over the rules so you can play and qualify for the prizes!

My Blog Hops are always stress free with a few simple rules to ensure YOU have a wicked good time🎃 

🎃🎃🎃

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ!
Unfortunately I've had to ask one Wicked Blogger, who has been playing every day, not to submit any more entries until she has caught up on all her hopping/commenting...my tally of week 1 and 2 shows she only commented on 65 of your 109 posts and that's not fair to the rest of you and not the spirit of a blog hop👿

🎃Here's a friendly reminder about my Wicked Blogger participation rule🎃
To play in the hop you MUST hop and comment on ALL the blogs on the days you choose to play!  My tally also shows a few missing comments like you accidentally skipped a blog while hopping so please do double check to make sure you're not missing any...I really don't want you to miss out on prizes👻

 "I Believe in Monsters"
card by Leigh

 I'm back today with part 2 of my creeptastic Zombie story featuring
The Zombie Stare💀

If you thought BOO! was creepy get a load of this guy!

It's NEVER a good thing to see Zombie teeth this close....eeeeeek RUN💀
  

 

Nothing goes to waste in my studio!!!  I used the other half of my Zombie to make another card...put them together to complete the scene👻

They are similar but do have a few differences:  Just like before 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 one of my Distress Oxide galaxy skies.  The Zombie is coloured with Copics, fussy cut out and layered onto the background with pop dots.  To give the scene depth and to make the Zombie appear even closer I adhered the tombstones in the mid-ground between the stamped fence and the Zombie.  In the foreground I put Tim's Gothic Gate.  The Tombstones and Gothic Gate are all die cut from black cardstock with Picket Fence Distress Ink highlights.

For even more fun dimension I added the spooky tree branches die cut from green cardstock then 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 matted it onto orange cardstock and applied Black Soot DI to the edges and then mounted everything onto a folded card made from black cardstock.  I created the sentiment using words snipped out from my Red Tape Snippets set!  I then applied Black Soot DI to the edges of each word and a coat of clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint with just a touch of black antiquing gel.

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

Neo came to my rescue...phew😸

card by Leigh

Today I'm sharing the "glow-in-the-dark" Alien card I made for my nephew, it's totally creeptastic and I think he'll love it👽

The Alien horde has landed and they're here for your candy👽

I used the Alien, UFO and Red Tape Snippets words from my new The Truth is Out There Somewhere sci-fi collection to create this scene👽  I made a Distress Oxides/Inks galaxy sky for my background and coloured the images with Prismacolor pencils.

Turn out the lights and the magic happens!

I painted the Aliens' eye highlights, the UFO port holes and lights and the Red Tape words with glow-in-the-dark paint....how wicked cool is that👻

 Uho...my X-Files' Aliens decided to join the horde!!!!
 

Neo to the rescue, LOL😻
