Halloween Series: #1 Voo Doo Doll

I love to make Halloween cards - the darker the better usually.  This one started out in an SU class my friend Nancy was teaching. LOVED the die-cut window she was using but I messed up the scene she was having us use for inside... so I took it home and put this image from Dilly Beans in instead.  It's kinda like he is looking in the window and I have alllll the lights out so he won't see me!

Inside with the sentiment.  

The image was printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# Cover Wt. and colored with Copics.  I drew in blood vessels with a red fine liner, added Glossy accents to the eyeball and used Platinum EP powder on the heads of the pins.  The edges have been torn around the frame and it was matted on orange from stash.  









Here is a close-up to show the details of the Glossy Accents and EP on the pins:

Just Because I

'Frida' from Dilly Beans

I have decided to do a series of Clean and Simple [CAS] cards - all with the sentiment of "Just Because".  A lot of white space using only scraps of DP & minimal embellishment.
The only textures I added on this one are the scored lines achieved with a Scor-It & the silver foil added to her earrings. [See below] The sentiment is elevated on a punched shape by SU.
