Smeared and Smudged bloghop

It's time for Smeared and Smudged monthly bloghop theme is DIRTY VINTAGE...Use vintage style images...and make it dirty by grunging it up, distressing it, or making it just plain DIRTY!

If my project is dirty enough I don't know, but I did a lot of gunging and distressing so at least I got that part covered LOL

here is my offering for the hop:


 
The digi images used: Nosferatu by Rick St. Dennis MFA (Nosferatu is available on Ricks's blog) and Open Bust by Smeared Ink. The spiderweb in the background is a rubber stamp by Lost Coast Designs and the blood splatter is a Stampinback rubber stamp. The senti is a Dracula quote.

I used dylussions for the blood and the green on the cardboard, I also used black paint and the images are coloured using distress ink. The spiderwebs are heat embossed using silver embossing powder and I added some skeletal remains  to enter HDH challenge 165.
To make it more vintage there is some black lace and a jute bow and some twine.

Hope you like the result and please go and visit the rest of the hoppers  and leave them some nice comments, see blogroll below

  18. Thank you for entering our current challenge 'Emboss It' over on the LEJ Designs Challenge Blog.
    What a great and unusual make...The image is great and I love how you have inked it. The layout is great with all those bold colours. The heat embossed spiders webb is brilliant and looks amazing. I am not a dark lover, however this has really changed my mind as it is so well made.
    I really hope you will continue to join in some of our weekly challenges as there are always lovely prizes up for grabs.

    Hugs Lisa xxxx LEJ DT Member
