"No Rest for the Wicked"
altered coffin box 
by Leigh

For your enjoyment today I altered a craft coffin box featuring my new design No Rest for the Wicked and the Moon is from Kitty Luna💀


I have quite a stash of coffin boxes but couldn't resist this one I found at Target this year coz it's a nice deep one with lots of space to decorate.  I used Black Soot Distress Stain to paint it black.


Coloured No Rest for the Wicked and the Kitty Luna moon with Copics and fussy cut them out.


I created a spooktacular galaxy sky with Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans Distress Oxides, Black Soot Distress ink, Crushed Grape and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions sprays and white acrylic paint.  I covered the box with panels cut from the background paper and adhered the images to the box lid then embellished the lid and sides of the box with bats and graveyard scenes die cut from black cardstock.


The images and die cuts look faBOOlous against the mesmerizing galaxy sky...love it!


Neo checked out the Zombie hands and declared he's no scaredy cat😸


Looks wickedly creepy in the spooky evening glow too!

"Ode to Poe"
card by Leigh

My project today is a card dedicated to the Master of the Macabre featuring my realistic Ode to Poe portrait design that incorporates titles from his body of work!


You know I love to make fussy cut-away cards and this time the entire right hand side is cut away, front and back!   I coloured Poe with Copics in a monochromatic colour palette and used Weathered Wood and Stormy Sky Distress Inks to add colour to the text and the decorative Raven card base. 


Lots of fussy cutting, layering and embellishing going on!  Poe is completely fussy cut out and then cut out again once adhered to the card.  I used a decorative Marvy paper punch on 3 corners, applied black glitter glue to the card edges and added embellishments adhered with glue dots and clear 3D foam tape.  The paper flowers and the black glitter card die cut Raven were included in a Halloween prize I won last year and I added a slate grey rhinestone for an eye and black diamonds to the flower centers.  They are the perfect embellies for my card, thanks Lyneen😋

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!

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 PURRoval😻
