Day 5 of 31 Days of Halloween: No Rest for the Wicked Domino necklace by Val!

Woohoo, welcome back for Day 5 of

๐ŸŽƒBLOG HOP - HOW TO PLAY and RULES๐ŸŽƒ
Here's a quick reminder about what this is all about and how to play!
Please make sure you follow the few simple rules to qualify for the prizes!
 
31 Days of Halloween is a BLOG HOP that involves project sharing, hopping to the blogs involved and leaving lots of love along the way!  If you love making Halloween projects then share your art with everyone and enjoy the spooktacular art on show!  It's exciting to see who can survive all 31 days and who will win the prizes!  See the left sidebar for the sponsors!

Doing all 31 days is grueling but FUN if you can handle it.  To take the pressure off I host a progressive hop that doesn't require sign-ups and a 31 days commitment with daily deadlines.  As a Wicked Blogger you get to play as often as you want and link up when you want.  Projects appear in the Blog Hop linky party daily for everyone to hop, enjoy and comment on!

The Blog Hop linky party is included in each post but the thumbnails only display on the most current post.  If you're playing catch-up just click the linky button at the bottom of any post to see the entries!

I've got spooktacular prizes to giveaway to the Wicked Bloggers who enter projects and to the Sinister Stalkers who prefer to just hop the entries.   To be fair to my generous sponsors and to qualify for the prizes, you do need to follow the few simple Blog Hop Rules

This is a Blog Hop, not just a challenge link-up, so if you enter projects then you MUST hop and comment on all the entries to be in the running for the Wicked Blogger prizes!

To promote the hop and share the details with your friends you MUST mention LeighSBDesigns 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop in your blog posts and include the link to my blog!
Entries that don't will be deleted from the linky party!

Social media entries are welcome!  Photo privacy must be public and hoppers must be able to comment on your photos!  Include LeighSBDesigns 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop, a link to this blog and the hashtag #LeighSBDesigns31DaysOfHalloweenBlogHop in your photo descriptions!

Cat-O-Ween card
by Leigh


For my Day 4 share today I made a card with a dark feminine vibe featuring Kitty Pumpkin Hat!


I love making cards with the right hand side completely fussy cut away, it's such a fun dramatic touch!


 I coloured Kitty Pumpkin Hat with Copics and white gel pen highlights.
For the hat leaves I used colours to compliment the floral decorative background, from the Recollections Moonlit Manor double sided paper pad, I used to make the card base.   


I also used Tim Holtz script washi tape, black acetate lace which I distressed, an orange stripe sticker and peel off sticker dot jewels stained orange with a Copic marker.


Inside the card I added the "Happy Cat-O-Ween" sentiment (Cheery Lynn Designs) which I die cut from colour co-coordinating cardstock and covered with Judikins Diamond Glaze.  I completed the card by punching the right hand corners with a Marvy paper punch and embellished with the orange jewels.

 Neo then gave it his seal of PURRoval๐Ÿ˜ป

SPOOKY is the Word!
by Leigh

I'm kicking off the spooktivities with an altered 3D wooden word that says SPOOKY featuring my new designs from the "The Truth is Out There Somewhere" Sci-fi Collection๐Ÿ‘ป
 

"The Truth is Out There Somewhere" is inspired by my all time favourite TV show, The X-Files, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in September.  I've been an X-Phile since day 1 and had an absolute blast creating these characters๐Ÿ‘ฝ

 
Special Agent Foxy is so handsome and cool and Special Agent Boston Terrier is super cute!  Why a Boston Terrier you ask, well.. I named my dog Scully of course๐Ÿ‘ป


I found the perfect wood Halloween decor word at Target coz in the show Mulder's nickname is Spooky Mulder!  I used Prismacolor pencils and a white Dylusions paint pen to create the Space background and the characters are coloured with Copics.

Neo loves to inspect all my projects๐Ÿ˜ป
