Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween 2014 Blog Hop- Day 28

Welcome to Day 28 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. As you know by now, I am participating in this month-long blog hop with some extremely talented artists.  The complete list of Wicked Bloggers (that's what we are called) are in my side bar.  There are lots of prizes in the daily scavenger hunt, and a Grand Prize worth over $300.

I've been dying, simply dying, (he he) to use my Vampiress stamp, and here she is.  She looks like such a tease, but beware of those teeth ... she does BITE!

I started with a 5"x7" kraft card base, so I die cut the two printed papers from a 6x6 My Mind's Eye paper pad using the Enchanted Labels die.  I stamped my vampiress onto a piece of white card stock and colored her with Derwent Inktense Pencils, blending with a water brush.  Then I fussy cut her out.

I punched two sizes of daisies from another piece of the 6x6 blue print paper.  I punched the entire sheet.

I very lightly misted my daisies and crinkled the ends, giving each petal a good pinch and twist to make them look really shabby.  I gently cupped each one with my large ended ball stylus on a foam sheet.  Let the flowers dry, and they become quite stiff.  

I free-hand cut out some leaves from another green print paper, misted and folded each in half, gave a bit of a pinch and twist at the bottom, and allowed these to dry also.  I trimmed the excess off as needed.

I made this cute little flag with a toothpick that I gilded with my Krylon gold leaf pen.  I stamped "One Scary Night..." from the Sin City Stamps set onto the reverse (blue) side of the orange dot paper with black ink, and cut out into a flag shape.  I decided where I wanted to place my toothpick and folded the paper, as shown.  The excess paper (dotted parts) shown in the photo was trimmed off and then glued to the toothpick.

I punched two bats from graveyard black paper, formed them with my stylus, and misted them with the Black Magic glimmer mist.

Here is a close-up of the flowers and leaves I made, and some Stickles glitter glue was added.

Another close-up of the two bats. I gave them eyes with a dot of Apple Green Smooch accent ink.

And last, the flag, which I inserted into the bouquet of flowers.
