Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls and Deconstructed Sketch #21

It’s yet another big day in Bloggyland for me today! Not only is it Day 4 in the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween, but it’s also the day that I announce the next theme for the Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop (on the Bombshell Blog) and, it’s time for a new Challenge Blog! Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls. This is The Burtonesque Dolls version 2.0.  So let’s get goin’!
I gave you a sneak peek at my Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls project on October 1st. I had combined it with the latest Desert Island Crafter’s Challenge. The challenge at BBD is to create something inspired by your favorite Halloween movie or memory. This was a tough one for me, because I have so much to chose from!
 
Can you guess what movie this represents? The quote at the bottom of my card says, “Once in a purple moon, there is a special witch who shines above the rest.” Did you get it now???

It’s a quote from The Worst Witch, which starred Tim Curry and Fairuza Balk (among other very famous folk). This flick came out in 1986, and I still love it very much to this day. It’s a kid’s movie, but it’s wonderful! I highly recommend it!
This beautiful Sweet Pea Stamps image was colored with Twinkle H20’s, and a wee bit of my watercolor markers. Check out how it shines…

I love this image! And my Twinkles!And The Worst Witch!

For my second offering of the day, I have a card that was created by using the 21st Deconstructed Sketch. Here’s the sketch.


And my card….which was really simple, but I love.

Eye see you! This eyeball is one of my most favorite stamps to work with right now. It’s from Inkandinkado, and was only a buck!

Seriously, isn’t it cool? I colored it in just a little with my pencils. And I of course had to use 2 layers of that a-maze-ing Drippy Goo Punch from you-know-who.

For the lines coming from behind the eyeball, I made a point at about where the center of the eye was going to be glued, then I used a ruler and a Stardust pen (Sakura) to draw the lines. I love the sparkle!
I am going to be entering both of these cards into the Forever Night Challenges too. This is a great new blog for you fans of the creepy! :)
Now you have lots of places to visit, so off you go! All of the S&S 31 Days Wicked Bloggers are listed in my sidebar. To see the scoop about Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls, please go HERE. And, if you’d like to get the deets (and perhaps join!) the next Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop, please go to the Bombshell Blog. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a spook-tacular day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
