HDH091-Emo's

I don't like this whole "Emo" movement/music/style whatever you call it.  I'm hard, thrash, speed, and black metal, to the core.  That being said, I DO like the Simply Betty Stamps Emo line of images.  A group of modern day kids for every occasion.  I can color them to my liking, which I'm finding doesn't work so well with actual Emo human kids.  They don't take to kindly to being drawn on and fussy cut.  Zombie Lola, one of SBS's Emo zombies, though, didn't mind at all.

The challenge at HDH this week is to incorporate EMO in your project.  Here's where I put mine-E for the Emo zombie image and EEEEK! sentiment, M for the metal plates on the corners and the metallic sparkle on her spikes, and O for Orange.  SBS has given me something fun and safe to do with Emo kids now, and has kept me from chasing poor teenagers down.  Thank you, Betty.

HDH089-Dali Delusions

The theme of the challenge this week at Haunted Design House is Dali Delusions. (what the hell?)

Yep.  That's what I thought.  I know who Salvador Dali is, but that's about it. (Again..what the hell?)  I know. Sad.  I've seen his art, and might be able to pick one out of a line-up, but other than that, I'm useless.  I checked out some images from Google, but remembering I'm low on printer ink, I opted to do two different things.  First--

I put a thin mustache on one of my favorite weirdos, Marilyn Manson.  I've had this image for a few, and just love the look on his face.  I scribbled that stache on there...and voila!  I liked it, so I ran with it.  Not sure if I got it quite right on the Dali tip, but I'm diggin it, kinda. Ha.  Here's my second entry--

It's yours truly.  I have my own Dali-esque fingerstache.  Yes, it's a  real tattoo, and yes it burned like fire. Wish the person taking the pic would've told me my stache was crooked, but oh well.  That's all I've got to say about that. Happy Thursday, folks!

HDH088-Mark of the Beast

Can I just say, that while I'm posting this, we JUST started having a big thunderstorm.

Eerie.

Anyhell, here's what I've come up with for this weeks Haunted Design House challenge,  Mark of the Beast. Use 6, 6, and 6.  Yep.  Hard as hell.  (Couldn't help that one.)  Ok!--

I sure as hell hope I did this right. Here's the scoop-counting the card base, I've got 6 background papers.  Then, 6 flourishes atop that.  To round it out, I've got 4 jewels, and my image is two layers-equaling 6 altogether.  I found that image by accident, cruising online for something else. I printed her twice, and paper pieced on her wings for dimension. 

Now it's hailing.  Big time.  I think I hear horns....

HDH087 & SBS Mom's Day Challenge..

This week at Haunted Design House, the challenge is Freaker's Free for All.  Anything goes. You wouldn't believe how hard it was for me to find something to do, left to my own desires.  Odd.  I decided to pair my entry up with this weeks Simply Betty challenge, Something for Mom.  Here's where it took me--

I used the Mummy Lola digi from SBS.  I started out with the intention of making a zombie card.  She didn't end up there...kinda.  I made this for every Momma who's never gotten to be sick, have a cold, eat a dinner, sleep more than 6 hours.  The inside says "Happy Mummy's Day".  For all those Mom's, somebody thanks you.  Now go take a nap.

SBS I Heart Zombies Invasion

Yeeeessss.  More zombies!  It's like, FINALLY the world catches up with my life long love of creepy, gross, bloody, scary, dead things.  Simply Betty Stamps has a whole new buttload of zombie stamps, and I am all for it.  Here's what I got for the zombie challenge--

This is the Zombie Betty digi.  At first, after I colored her, I thought "Wow.  She's ugly."  Being that she's a zombie, that translated quickly in my mind too "Wow.  She's beautiful."  I just got me a set of Glow Bwainz

and I have been DYING to use them.  So I did.  I took a Gelly Roll glitter pen and added just a tad in some of the cracks, to give it a more viscous look.  I made this card for my buddy's bday.  He's the singer of a local metal band, and loves zombies as much as I.  He even plays zombie movies in the background while on stage, so I was happy to join in the fun last Saturday when I went to see him play.

I had to have a snack before we left.  I'm a bit messy.  While brains are always a welcome snack, I often prefer the heart.  I don't know, it just seems juicier.  But that's me.

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge #41

You know how obsessed I am with Kenny K images.  Oh, how I heart his art!  Here's what I got going on for this weeks challenge-

I made this for Mr.Korpsgryndr.  It's our been-together-10-years anniversary today.  I always color with Copics, and I used some wedding table confetti for the flowers.  I hope he likes it, though I'm sure he will.  He's my biggest fan.

 One of a kind, that's what we are.
