Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop

Howdy! from Texas!  No we really don't greet people with a Howdy. So, I say Hello to everyone. Hope everyone is having a Grand and Glorious time hopping from blog to blog. I'm so very glad you came in to visit me. I can't wait to see all of the other exhibits. The world is truly full of creative people. I hope you enjoy my creation. I call it The Book of The Dead.  And don't forget to take a look at my new friends-Mr.&Mrs.Wee R. Dead.

The Book of the Dead is a paper mache bookbox I sprayed with three colors of Maya Road Mists-Plum Metallic,Cherry Metallic and Licorice Metallic. I was trying to get that old, worn, aged look. The paper lining in the back of the book is from BasicGrey-eerie collection. Prima provided the flowers. The flower on the cover was tinted with Copic Markers. Hanging from the top, inside of the book are dead vines( a black ribbon trim) to which I added Bling. I LOVE me some Bling!!!

Bombshell Stamps provided the Day of The Dead alter skull and the dancing skeleton is from Cherry Pie Art Stamps. From that point on I added feathers, tulle, skulls (from a pirate necklace purchased at a local novelty shop) and most importantly BLING! Did I tell you I love me some Bling? I added it to the front, back, side, inside just about anywhere I could find a spot for Bling I added it. To me there can never -ever be too much Bling. I hope you like my Book of The Dead. I had a marvelous time bringing it all together.


 Mr.&Mrs.Wee R. Dead were created from a wedding card holder. I used wire cutters to snip off the card holder clip and replaced it with a skull from my pirate necklace. The bride's dress and veil are from scraps of tulle and Bling. The groom's top hat was made also from scraps from the BasicGrey lining paper- eerie collection. I think they are deadly cute. It is my honor to present, for the first time as husband and wife, .......
                                                         Mr.&Mrs. Wee R. Dead
