My altereddesigns yahoogroup is going all spooky for Halloween. The first challenge in October is to make a dark heart, and by dark I believe they mean the mood, not the shading. Who has a darker mood than Edgar Alan Poe? (okay, H.P. Lovecraft, but I wasn't interested in going there)
I was pleased at how easily this came together once I had the idea in my head. I printed Poe with my computer, and all the other images came from the nevermore stamp set by amuse studio. I distressed the edges a little with Bundled Sage distress ink - I felt it would give a more chill and putrid feeling than the usual antique linen distressing.
The second October challenge at altereddesigns is to do a Poe-themed gothic arch - I wonder if anyone would mind if I did the same general thing in a different shape?
Challenges:
- Delicious Doodles - unlucky Friday 13
- Left of Center - dark theme/no DP
- PunkyouGirl - red and black
- Haunted Design House - Halloween
