October 5~ 31 Days of Halloween Wicked Blogger Challenge Day 5~APCC Week 5 Card 2

Hi!

Today is Day 5 of 31 Days of Halloween, least I hope so and hope I have not lost track! It is all sorta starting to blend together, yikes!

Last chance to link up your World Card Making Day card with us at Mixed Media Mojo. There is a prize, too! Share with us what you made this weekend, we'd love to see:)

Find the details and daily scavenger hunt clue at Terra's Blog HERE.  The Wicked Blogger Hop List is on my right sidebar>>>>>>    :)

My project is also for the super fun Altered Playing Card Challenge at Claudine Criner's Blog HERE
This is so fun and so close to ATC size. I'm really lovin' the smaller format:)

This is my Week 5 Card 2, Timeless Secrets. Hope you like it!



The base is a regular playing card, primed with a layer of gesso. The background is made up of various torn papers. I inked over them with Distress Ink (DI) colors Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.
I used the Tim Holtz Splatters stencil with DI Aged Mahogany for the splattery dots.

The skull stamp was stamped on Strathmore Mixed Media 90lb paper.  The stamp is from the Inkadinkado Nevermore collection. I used a water brush and Distress Inks Antique Linen and Vintage Photo to color the skull.

Thanks much for looking and *hugs* for all the visits!
Have a spooky day!

  15. Puttin on my DT hat, now. Really love that background and fab skull. the deep red makes me think he bled out...ages ago and the sentiment suggests he met with foul play. Thanks so much for joining us for our special "All Gored Up" challenge at Aurora Wings. xxD
