You had me in stitches

I have finally made a card with a stamp by Teresa Sherman. :) The image that I used here is named Thorne and can be found here at Sweet Pea Stamps.


Almost everything is painted with either acrylic paint and/or Stickles. I have used some red acrylic paint for the background to the left. The skin of the zombie/vampire is painted with metallic sand paint + some turquoise and purple acrylic paint. The golden acrylic paint (my absolute best craft purchase ever) gives the hair some glimmer. I have used some Waterfall Stickles for the lips. I have chosen Starry Night + Mystic Green Stickles for the eyes. The clothing is painted with lilac blue nail-polish and Starry Night Stickles. The stitches/scars are coloured with Magenta Stickles. I have used Yellow Stickles, Thistle Stickles, Starry Night Stickles and Waterfall Stickles for the flowers.

The purple patterned paper comes from the local craft store Pysselmakaren, and so do the corner embellishments. I have found the rest in various magazines.

I have submitted this card to the following challenges:
All that Stickles: Fall
Craft Your Passion: Glitter and gloss
Creative Fingers: Add a sentiment 
DRS Design: That's unexpected (the sentiment adds some humour to my Halloween horror card)
Haunted Design: Halloween in your face
One Sweet Challenge: Brown, Yellow, Orange and Red
Musically challenged: Creepshow
PunkyouGirl: Red & Black 
Sentimental Sundays: Humorous

Ps. I wanted to create a "blood" splatter background for my card, but I changed my mind. Maybe someone somewhere would find this useful? If so, please go ahead and save it. :) And look below for some bloody hands...
