WHo Do? We DO VooDoo!

You're going to love these new images from Doodle Dragon!

Dustin has come up with the coolest little Voodoo Dolls.

Who doesn't love a little magic in their lives?

 

Add a little romance, mystery, and fun to your

Valentine's celebration with one of these cute little critters!

 

So get out a candle, chop the head off a chicken or two, and dance around wildly like you're on fire!

Nothing promises a more romantic Valentine's Day than a good ol' voodoo love spell!

 

Or you could just go the cuddly stuffed doll route...

whatever....

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second card went a whole different direction, as many of my cards using Dustin's images often do....

 

 

I couldn't help thinking about these poor little guys

and how everyone just keeps poking them with pins!

 

Well, maybe it's the meds, but I started imagining what it would be like to be one of the little VooDoo dolls...yeah, definately my medication....

 

 

So I printed and stacked 3 of the little buggers (you know, like a pad of Post-It-Notes) and placed him on a "bulletin board".

 

Ok, this is where the imagination has to veer a bit from normal to utter ridiculousness...

 

 

 

Maybe it's time to come back to the land of reality...maybe...

 

Let's hear it for the Voodoo Dolls!

"Have a party, Mon"!

"The Pumpkin Fence"

First off, I want to let you in on a little secret.

 (well, a secret except to anyone who personally knows me)

I am the "Queen of Frugal".

I am the CHEAPEST person you'll ever meet!

I save everything and, if I can make it for less, I'm not buying it at the store.

That especially goes for scrapbook supplies!

THIS is what it looks like when you save all of your Stampendous embossing powders, glitters, crushed glasses, and micas from all of your products rather than tossing it

in the trash can.

Pretty, eh?

When it came to adding a bit of sparkle to my card,

I grabbed the "Mixed" jar, and this is what it looks like!

I used the "Cling Pumpkin Fence" stamp and did very little coloring. 

I'm dealing with some carpal tunnel issues right now,

so trying to use other techniques more.

The only Copics I used were:

Y38, YR27, YR23, E35, and E37.

Easy peasy!

I wet my colored image and sprinkled just a tiny bit of instant coffee onto the front and continued spritzing it until I had the amount of stain that I wanted.

I pulled out the My Mind's Eye, "Spider's Web" papers
for my image mat and background dotted pattern.

After inking all of the edges, and assembling my card, I attached the scalloped edge that came in the paper collection to the bottom of my card.

NOW THE FUN STARTS!

Fran'taging with the micas, embossing powders, and glitters has really made scrapping so exciting!  I'm like a child when it comes to playing in this stuff!

I sprinkled my concoction on the upper right and lower left corners of my card and heated from the underside until everything melded together!

The black mesh trim adds a spider web-like feel,

and the Prima flower is simply a sweet touch.

A little bit more of the "magic mix" on the top of the mesh,

carefully heating until melted, and it's done!

Boo!

Challenge #74...

I used the Melonheadz "Mermaid" image,

and had so much fun making this cute little card!

You might say her little starfish lost its' "charm" when I lopped off the ring and chose not to use it as a charm but as a hair barrette!

I have really gotten to where I love working with these step cards! It gives a nice perspective when you want to highlight a particular element.

My netting was a combination of

May Arts green mesh and a white veggie bag from the grocery store! LOL!

The "sand" is Stampendous "Crushed Glass Glitter" in Gold and Fresh Green.

The sparkle on the mermaid is simply Stickles.

The image is colored with Copics, and the background is embossed with

Cuttlebug, "Swiss Dots".

That pretty much wraps it up!

Have a great day!
