Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas Anymore

Hi, hope you are having a great start to your weekend! I just wanted to post this Dorothy Card I made with a Digi Stamp by Michelle Perkett Studios. Isn't she adorable!

I also used Cheryl's tutorial for stenciling using a die cut. I am very happy how it turned out. Thanks Cheryl! Check out her beautiful cards inktrap.blogspot.com

My Favorite Burton Film is....

The Nightmare Before Christmas OF COURSE!

This weeks challenge at The Burtonesque Dolls is your Favorite Burton film, and that was an easy one for me of course its TNBC. I was 19 when the film came out and I was working at a movie theater. My boss had just gotten back from Show West in Las Vegas and she told me about this amazing stop motion animation film that Tim Burton had created and Danny Elfman had created the music for. I was sold!

When the movie came out a year later, I was stunned. This has been my favorite movie since then. I knew I wanted to use my Jack and Sally stamp from Stamp Happy.

Stamps: Stamp Happy: J&S and Zero grave house, Kathy Davis: Pumpkins

Punches: MS: gate and graves

Zero is a Disney pin

Nymph of the Underworld

Hi! I wanted to get this post in before I forget and have to post it at the last minute for the Haunted Design House Challenge. The theme this week is Netherworld Nymphs.

I fell in love with this Beauty from Bombshell Stamps when I saw it on Cheryl's blog. (Inktrap) My mom and I were checking out her blog and I said WOW I love that stamp and my mom was like Oh I have an extra one at home, I will send it to you. Thank you Mom!

I got it in the mail on Monday with some other fun goodies. I knew I wanted to use her for my Netherworld Nymph. She is the ultimate Nymph of the Underworld.

I loved coloring the roses and I used my new Spellbinders Nesties which came in the mail the same day as the stamp. I didn't have any red flowers so I used my Glimmermist in Red Velvet as paint. I painted the roses red!

I used black Hem facing behind her and a lace stamp after that. I don't know who makes the lace stamp, it's an old unmounted stamp I got at a Stamp Convention.
I really enjoyed making this card.

On the Dark Side: Gothik Angelz

When I saw these NEW digi Beauties from Kenny K, I thought WOW how much fun are they going to be to color. So I had to just get a few. HAHA (Thanks Cheryl)

Her name is Allura Von D and she is very alluring. I thought she looked very Kim K. and so I worked with that in mind. I decided simple paper layering and a few gems were just enough as she really takes center stage.

I have already colored up four other Angelz and can't wait to see what they will turn into. Maybe a mini book of gothic babes.

Look Into My Crystal Ball and See What Your Future Holds...

It's a Carnival over at The Burtonesque Dolls this week. I love the movie Big Fish and the Carnival scenes had some pretty amazing charaters. It really was hard to choose what I wanted to do.

I finally went with Zoie from Stamp it Crazy, she is a great digi image. I have been loving the Gothic Arches that the very talented Buttercup uses from Gothic Arches Blog and thought one would make a great Gypsy tent. If you have not visited Buttercup's blog, you really should. Buttercupaz.blogspot.com

Stamps: Too many Freaks by Stamp Happy. Zoie by Stamp it Crazy. Scroll by Tim Holtz.
Paper: Bazzill Basics Paper
Coloring: Copics
Gems: Reflections

Along came a spider....

I have been wanting to do a challenge at haunteddesignhouse.blogspot.com and when I saw that this weeks challenge was SPIDERS I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

It's not creepy, but spiders give me the creeps and I just love these two images. The spider is Mr. Stripes from Stampotique another great image from Daniel Torrente.
And the spider fairy Gossamer is a digi from Sweet November Stamps, I just love her! Of course I can't forget the spider web, it's from Tim Holtz.

I had fun glimmer misting the background page with Popsicle, Caribbean Blue and Graphite. The Spider web was stamped in black and embossed with Judikins Psychedelic powder. I added a little Glossy Accents hoping it would look like dew on the spider web. Mr. Stripes head and Gossamer's eyes also have some GA on them as well. Diamond Stickles finish off Gossamer's Web Gown and Copics were used for coloring. I printed out a line from the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffett as I thought it fit perfectly.
