Let's have a little rest from the cute and cuddly eh ? Well - I mean - what with Halloween creeping up on us !!!! Bwaahahahaha
I guess you could say that this one is 'creepy cute' though, so it's not all shock, horror !!! Hee hee
For the background I used a Creative Expressions embossing folder called 'Brick' and I then used a foam inky pad to drag over it to give it colour and shadow. I cut around the edges of the bricks to get the size card that I wanted.
The image is called "Abby Love Letters" by LACEY SUNSHINE and I have coloured her with Promarkers, Copics and black lead pencils for her hair -I don't have any shades of grey Promarkers :-(
I completely cut her out and I also cut a circle of gold fine mesh and made a small hole in the middle to slip it over the flame of the candle, to give me a light effect.
I shaded a shadow on the wall backing and then mounted Abby on the front with 3D foam pads.
Ta Da !!! Creepy but also cute :-D
Thanks for dropping by.
