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

Dragons Dream Tag it on Challenge # 120

This fortnight it's my turn to dream up a recipe for Dragons Dream TIO. First I want to thank you all for the fabulous entries, we had a great time looking at your tags. My recipe is: “Considering Steampunk” - the ingredients are fantasy, inventions and Victoriana. The only other rules are that it has to be a tag and you have to use at least one real stamp. Hope you will have a great time

For this tags I used stamps from:

De Stempelwinkel: the walking couple and the stone floor
Kicostamps: the car, cogs, the senti and the baloon
Stampinback: the face

The images were coloured with pencils and the background is distress ink, the cogs are embossed with copper embossing powder
