Today's spooktacular featured project is another one by me, LCDesigner Leigh S-B!

This time I'm sharing a card! ;0)

I used the following stamps:
Carmen's Veranda 
Halloween Background
 the pumpkins and kitty are also part of the large Halloween background stamp!

Lost Coast Designs
large Manga Girls from left to right:
Manga Goth with Socks
Manga Goth Harlequin
Manga Goth with Boots
Cityscape

we also have a mini Manga Girls set too!

A closer look at the details:  The Manga Girls and Halloween background were stamped with lots of masking action.  The Cityscape was stamped separately, fussy cut out and layered on top.  I used 2 Sizzix alphabet dies for the text and portions cut from Tim's Alterations spiderweb die, all were coloured with purple glitter nail polish ;0)  Images were coloured with Copics and metallic touches added with silver and gold gel pens.  I also used Judikins Diamond Glaze on the pumpkins except their eyes and mouths (which are part of the Halloween background stamp), for some fun dimension and I coloured the stars with a metallic silver gel pen for some extra bling. 

 Besides all the fabulous prizes up for grabs in the hop with Smeared Ink don't forget we are also having a Halloween party of our own!  We currently have 3 faBOOlous activites for you to enter and 3 spooktacular prizes you can win!   All our current events and challenges are listed below so I hope we've inspired you to come and join the fun!

Today's spooktacular featured project is by me, LCDesigner Leigh S-B ;0)

I'm back today with another altered wooden BOO! creation but this time I'm featuring the Master of Horror, Alfred Hitchcock himself, and paying homage to his clawesome movie classic The Birds! 

 I typed up sections of attack scenes from The Bird's screenplay in Photoshop CS6 for the background of this altered project.  This movie was filmed in black and white so I only used black ink for all my stamping and distressing.

The wooden pieces were painted with black acrylic, the images stamped with black Versafine ink and Black Soot Distress Ink was used to grunge up the edges.

I used the following stamps:
Lost Coast Designs
Filmstrip Border
Tall Trees
Perspective Floor

Carmen's Veranda 
Alfred Hitchcock
Flying Birds
ATC Birds in Trees

Besides all the fabulous prizes up for grabs in the hop with Smeared Ink don't forget we are also having a Halloween party of our own!  We currently have 3 faBOOlous activites for you to enter and 3 spooktacular prizes you can win!   All our current events and challenges are listed below so I hope we've inspired you to come and join the fun!
