I am so sad that this Hop is over, but know that I can go back and look again at each of the three days at what creative and wonderful projects that were created.

You may have just seen Wendy's Poe inspired Bookmark.  If not, the blog roll is just above for you to start where you wish.  Next is Ike who as done wonders with a beast.

For today's project, Day 3, I was inspired by one of the Valentine Bloggers who is doing a spell theme and the idea of pulling petals from a flower to see if your crush loves you, or not.

This unique jar has a love spell upon it and will bestow its power unto any who seek love.
But as anyone of us knows, it comes with a price.

"If it's true love you seek,
then let thine heart be true.

Fill your mind and soul
with the beloved one.

Take care for only a single
chance you have.

For what is drawn,
the desired heart will obey
three score and no more.

Accept thy fate for
True Love's sake."

Fated Hearts

The Ill-fated Details

Hearts are from a past offering stamp set called Quoth The Raven (February 2013) from Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
Each is stamped with Versa Mark ink onto Whisper White card stock.
Black and Cherry Cobber Embossing Powders over stamped images.  Heat set with heat gun, then fussy cut.
I wrote "Thee Love Me" and "Thee Loves Me Not" on the back of each randomly.

Poem was made up by yours truly and written in Word.  Printed in red.
Torn on all sides and inked with ink pads.
Used Netting background stamp (SU!) and heart stamp with Sahara Sand ink for background.
Sewing pin to hold onto heart below. 

Jar was from stash probably bought at Walmart.

Used Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch on Cajun Craze card stock, trimmed and adhered to inside edge of jar.

1/8" Black Taffeta and Cherry Cobber Seam Binding Ribbon tied around rim.

Skull head from stash.
Medium Rhinestone Jewels for eyes.  I am probably going to go back and color them in with red Sharpie.

Heart was hand cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock, scrunched and inked.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

THANK YOU EVERYONE
for such a wonderful 3 day Bloody Valentine Hop!!

I have made a little Love Note Notebook for today's entry.  I would have loved this in my teen angst years...okay who am I kidding, I love it NOW!  Nothing like jotting my husbands' demise or quick notes down on some bloody hearts.  And the best thing is that I can always print out more paper when I run out!  Enjoy today's hop and I so appreciate your kind, funny, and wonderful comments.

My second project is a hang, Clutching Love, I have done for Ike's World Challenges Day 2 of the Hop.  I just love her hand images, which of course can be found at Ike's Art.   More details about this project below.

Murderous Thoughts and Unsavory Deets

Love Note Notebook


Heart front and back covers are from The Octopode Factory.  Image is from a set called Edgar Allen Poe.
Image is printed onto Whisper White card stock.  Markers and inks with Aqua Painter to color in.  I spritzed the marker areas with water and let run to give the bleeding look.

Used Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint by Ranger over bottom 3/4's of heart.  I wanted to leave the top clean to make it look like the top part of heart was being squeezed, so no cracks.

Paper is from a Smeared Ink digital set called Poe Boy.  I did alter it a bit with my Picasso program to make it just a tad lighter so that I could write on it.
I printed out on both sides of copy paper.
Cut out heart shape and used Crop-a-dile to make circle punches to hold my office rings.
Distressed edges and inked with Cherry Cobbler to make edges of pages look bloody.  Spritzed with water to make inked edges bleed and more crumply.

Backsides of covers is another digital paper from Poe Boy.
Printed onto copy paper and adhered to back of covers.

Crop-a-dile for punched holes on covers.
Linen Thread for wrap around hearts on covers.
Marker on thread to make bloody.

Clutching Love Hang

This was an evolving piece that I was even surprised at how it ended up.

HANDS
Hands are from Ike's Art, called I Want You.  I printed out twice, then flipped the image and printed out again. 
Inks, markers, and Aqua Painter to color hands.  Fussy cut and adhered the pairs together.
Since the fad is to color one fingernail a different color, I used Black Ranger Accents on the pointer fingers.  Then Cherry Cobbler to color in the rest of nails then added Crystal Effects for shine and dimension.
Netting background stamp (SU!) over all sides of hands to give some more texture.

HEART CENTER
I cut out two hearts from Cherry Cobber cardstock.  Smushed and crumpled, inked and sponged.  Tore the top heart in the center and added designer paper from stash in tear.
Layered back heart, hands, Sweater Trim Ribbon, and top heart.  All adhered with Sticky Strip.
Added Crystal Effects to tear in heart for blood drips.

HANGING HEARTS
Hanging hearts are fussy cut hands from another Ike's Art image, Face On.    When I first saw this image I immediately saw the hands and how they could make a bone shaped heart.
The image was printed out as big as I could two times.
Hands were fussy cut and adhered together.
A small heart punch was used with the extra scrap paper, same as in main heart, and dental floss to hang from center of bone hands heart.
I tried to make Crystal Effects blood drips with re-inkers, but used too much re-inker.  So just smeared what I had randomly on bone hands. (Shown in above picture on silicone sheet.)
Did make super small hand drawn hearts in between open areas of images with fine tip black Sharpie.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

What better way than to celebrate this special day of love Smeared and Smudged style!  Bloody, bloody, and more bloody.  I for one am very excited to see what everyone on the Blog Hop Roll has created.  

To find out more information on the event see Terra's Blog.  She is one of the hard working ladies behind the scenes. 

You should have just seen Wendy's dripping ornament and next up is Ike, who is seriously stepping up her game with multiple entries.  Have fun, get inspired, and get crafty!

I also have an entry with Ike's World Challenges on this blog hop as well.  So I will have the details for each below.  

Pinned & Bloody is what my little project is about:

Ike's World Challenges Entry - Claws of Love:

Pinned & Bloody Deets

I printed a heart from Smeared Ink's digital stamp set Monster Hearts onto Avery Fabric Transfers.

Images was colored in with Copic markers.  

Trimmed and then ironed onto Stampin' Up! fabric (Candy Cane Lane set - retired).

Fabric was trimmed and sewed. 

Heart was then stuffed with dryer sheets and the fluffy layer used for sewing.

I used Paint Splats from Quick Kutz to make my blood puddles as my base.

Claws of Love

Kitty is from Ike's Art.  Image is called Bauble Cat. 

Images is printed, colored with inks and Aqua Painter, fussy cut, Versa Mark inked, and heat set with Clear Embossing Powder.

Paint Splats from Quick Kutz once again used as blood puddles under kitty.

Background

Negatives from cut Paint Splats were placed randomly on insert from designer paper pack and sponged in with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Ribbon is Real Red Stitched Grosgrain.

Eyes are fussy cut from Face On image found at Ike's Art.

Markers for eye centers and around eyes to help pop them out a bit.  Crystal Effects over each eye center.

Marker to make hearts randomly on background and to highlight eyes and words in poem.

Poem is from I Could Pee On This by Francesco Marciuliano, hand written with black Sharpie.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
