"Lucky 13"
card by Leigh

Today, on October 13th, I've got a "Lucky 13" black kitty card for you featuring Wiccan Moon😻  Well it's not a Friday but I think it's good luck to have a black cat cross your path no matter what day it is😻


 If you love cats, collages and the grungy style then Wiccan Moon is a must have!  Lots of fussy cutting and masking action went on here.  I fussy cut up one design to create my masks.  I masked everything but the moon and stamped it with Tim's X-Ray stamp.  I then coloured the kitty and the moon with Prismacolor pencils and masked them to apply Distress Inks to the background.  Then distressed the edges with Tim's paper distresser tool.


I embellished the card with black die cut spider webs with Picket Fence Distress Ink loosely applied so the webs would stand out nicely against the background and black kitty.  Die cut number 13 which I covered with copper glitter glue and a silver metal spider web charm I coloured with yellow and black Copic markers.  The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of spider web cardstock with gold pigment ink and embossed in gold then trimmed and edged with a copper Sharpie marker.  I finished off my card by matting the collage onto pearlescent orange cardstock, then a folded card made from the same spider web cardstock.  I used a sheet of double-sided DP cardstock with spider webs on one side and bats on the other so the inside of the card is covered in bats that kitty is now off chasing👻


Of course Neo gave this one his seal of PURRoval and is now dreaming of chasing bats too😸

So magical in the glow of my evening Halloween lights😻

"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😋

Neo giving his seal of aPOEroval, nothing gets past him😻
