Quoth The Raven, Nevermore Jan Quest #40

I am enjoying all the new challenges going on in the new year and have decided to made a flip book dedicated to some of the great Edgar Allan Poe quotes.  
The Quests at Quoth The Raven, Nevermore are perfect for this flip book.
Trying to get more into the digial side of experimenting and having a blast. 

The page will be entered into this Quest #40 - Snow Poe where the challenge is to use White and only one other color. 

Dabbled Deets

Background is from the Smeared Ink digital set called Venice.
Image was altered with Picasso and printed out on Whisper White card stock.

Took the quote from The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe and used AR JULIN font in Word.  Printed out over background.

Used Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink and stamps from a Smeared Ink rubber set called Inky Dreams.  Stamped randomly around edges of page.

All edges on page were distressed and sponged.

Basic Black card stock for backing. All edges also distressed.

Illuminate Pearlized Top Coat Smooch on random words through out quote.

Black journaling pen to add quotation marks and title.

Crop-a-dile to punch holes for 1" binder rings.

"The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat. And yet all this might have been endured, if not approved, by the mad revellers around. But the mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood --and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror."

Smudgy Antics Challenge!!

Geeze Louize, this has been one busy month and I am sad to say my time on my fun stuff has suffered!  I had/have about 9 different projects going and about an hour a day to do any work on any of them.  I have to regroup my thoughts on what and where I was going w/ each project.  But prevail I did.  So now get ready for a sh#t load of posts!

First up is my card for the Smudge Antics Challenge Dripping that ends in oh 5 hours.  So if read this you have until midnight to get your project in.  Dripping must be incorporated in the project.  You NEED to check out the Design Team's inspiration samples...Amazing! 

My card, Venice At Night, used a great image and my background has the Drippings.

 

The Dazzling Details

Image in set can be found HERE on Smeared Ink.  It is from the set called Venice Digi Set.

Image was printed out onto Very Vanilla card stock (cs), from Stampin' Up! (SU!).  All products used are SU! unless otherwise noted. 

I then used markers to color in image. 

Silver Dazzling Details is on mask and on bells.

I added Crystal Effects randomly to head/neck areas.

Small Jewel Pearls are used for eyes.

Images was fussy cut ready to be placed on card front.

Background
I picked out some Crayola Crayons that looked like they fit my color scheme.  Smushed them w/ the end of my scissors and sprinkled the bits onto the top of my Basic Gray cs.

Used Heat Gun to melt bits and lifted card so that the melted crayon ran downward. 

I used all three colors in the picture, then did the red, Red Violet, over the other three.  I repeated this again in the center of cs.

I spritzed cs with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.

Card Base is a Basic Black cs and Silver Glimmer paper for sides.

Dimensionals to adhere Basic Gray to base and cut image to front.
