I am just catching up with the Gingersnap Creations Edgar Allan Poe month and this challenge was called Horror Stories, so here is mine.
Poe wrote a number of short stories and poems and I looked him up to refresh my memory, what surprised me though was when I looked for images of 'The Masque of the Red Death' there was Vincent Price staring back at me and reminded me I had probably seen the film in my youth when I used to go to Saturday afternoon pictures. I loved horror stories way back then - now I really hate watching anything like that, tooooo scary!!!!!!
This is a hybrid piece. I downloaded images from Scrapbookgraphics.com and used them for the base background and then added the title, charm, buttons, skull (one of my moulds) and black enamel accents with tiny red seed beads in it. I am going to add this to my journal OR if I get time I an going to make a Halloween book. I think the journal will win!
Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you are getting some crafty time to make things.
Please don't forget to add any of your Halloween projects to my linky HERE - I am going to give one of my Halloween tags away to a random chosen person at the beginning of November.
Have a great day.

You can see that the backing paper is actually made up of layered pages of Poe's poems.

I don't like Halloween, but I do like your card, especially that cool skull!

Brenda, how cool - a wonderful card and the skull is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteA very inventive take on the Poe Challenge Brenda, but I'm with you on the scary stuff these days - can't bear to watch it on TV/Film. (I'm such a whimp!)

Have a scary-free week - hugs, Sylvia xx
