Hello. Welcome. We are enjoying a rare sunny Sunday. I hope you are too. Presenting my altered playing card for the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary challenge. We are playing with the letter H. My first thought went to Halloween but then I ran across Haunt. And the VLVS moodboard.......
I started stamping VLVS spooky tree and cobweb corner onto the back of my playing card that I had covered with some white paper. Then I got busy with the Hickory Smoke distress and London Fog archival to add some misty spookiness. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen.
VLVS Frank negotiating dangerous paths in, to and from his favourite haunt. At first I thought he was pointing to the danger sign, but then realised he was just out to hang up his jack-o-lantern....
VLVS danger skull sign and x-ray turtle stamped on shrink plastic and skrunk. Tip of the day.... don't use archival on shrink plastic. It bleeds. Had to do a bit of a detail save with the white pen in a couple of areas of turtles' bones. Added some details to the steps and the grass border using a black pen. Don't step in the water Frank! Looks like it might be a snapping turtle!!!! Word definition from OED.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
