I am kicking off the show and decided to let Taurus out of his box.

Oooh, what a gorgeous beast he is.  All ready for a bit of October Mayhem.

I started with a royal purple base card that I cut with Stamplorations Stitched Rectangle die.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Pondscum background and embossed with Zing Leaf embossing powder.  The Zing powders are opaque and gave excellent coverage on my dark background.  Then I stamped Lost Coast Designs Drips top and bottom and embossed with Zing Metallic Red powder. 

I stamped, embossed and fussy cut Taurus and gave him a watercolour wash of Stormy Sky distress ink.  I added silver and gold Pilot marker to his hooves and horns and some gel pen highlights for eyes, fingernails and fangs.

I stuck him on the drippy Pondscum background and added a few die cut bats.  He's ready!!  Are you??

Now it's your turn.  We can't wait to see your projects!  
Submit your entries in the linky party below by 5 to midnight PST on the 31st and don't forget to follow us so you don't miss anything!  The team will be posting inspiration every day this month so check back and join the fun.

Happy Stamping!
