Dark Butterfly: Day 6 of 31 Days of Halloween

Hello! It's Day 6 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Today, I've got a card featuring Dark Butterfly from GothArte Tenebris.

Isn't it a fantastic image? I colored it on Canson Mixed Media Paper with Zig Clean Color Markers. I "aged" the paper a bit with Sahara Sand VersaMagic, and Toffee VersaFine ink from Imagine.

I made my background with Andy Skinner's Peeled Paint stamp from the Industrial set by Stampendous. It was stamped several times using the same Toffee ink from the border. Then, to mimic the dripping blood in the image, I used my favorite irRESISTable from Imagine.... Love Letter. This stuff looks exactly like blood, and I am nuts about it. You guys should all try this stuff. You'll be hooked too! I added my image layer on to my Kraft cardstock base with foam squares by Scrapbook Adhesives.

If you haven't already checked out GothArte Tenebris, please visit their FB page to see the amazing images they offer. I'll be sharing some other projects with their imagery this month. For now, please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers, listed below. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fangtastic day!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga
