Day 31 of THE 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN WITH SMEARED AND SMUDGED




I'm Lady Brayton.  Welcome to my blog!

I am participating as a wicked blogger for THE 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN 
blog hop hosted by the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  
Today is the last day of the hop!

 For your convenience, I will keep the blog roll posted on the left sidebar of my blog.  The hop goes LIVE everyday in October at 9:00am PST. 
Your next stop on the hop is Lindsay's Blog.

Today is Day 31 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Here is my offering:
(click image to enlarge)



  I know many that think digital coloring is quick and easy, but it takes a lot more time than most would guess.  I actually color much faster with markers, but I like the look of digi and it saves money on copic refills ;)  I can't even tell you how long I spent on this sucker, but I wanted it to look immense!
I used "Don't go in There" by Rick St. Dennis. 

 Rick has been one of our sponsors for the 31 days of Halloween this year and last.  He has been generous enough to give a whole stamp collage sheet away daily!  I just wanted to give Rick the props he deserves.  You can check out his blog here.  Rick also runs a challenge blog called Sparkle and Glitter.  You should really check out the challenges!

I colored and assembled this creepy scene in PSE8.  The floor, ceiling, and outer walls were created by parts of photos I had manipulated.  Everything else is the stamped image including the ooze coming from underneath the door and the stone bricks surrounding the door.  It's a very detailed stamp!

You really, REALLY, don't want to see what's behind that door!
I was so inspired by this image.  I didn't feel as though it needed to be on a card or have a sentiment.  I think the image speaks for itself 
and I hope I helped bring it to life.

I was going for a creepy look.  Did I succeed?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

  2. Lady B. There is nothing easy about these projects you have presented. You have opened my eyes to something totally new and that opens the door (not this one) to many opportunities. Thank you for sharing all the work you did during the past month, it was inspirational and gave me some good ideas. Thank you for the fun and I hope you will visit my blog again as I will be visiting yours.

    I don't think digital colouring is quick or easy. I would love to play around with this medium and your cards have inspired me to give it a try.

  7. I actually leave you for last in case I want to linger awhile -that's Mama Cass, isn't it? Oh, wait, you probably don't know! I think your project today is bleeping amazing! When we start trading tips, I need to know how you do the wonderful non digi part! Real, is that called real? You combine them so well! Your painting on the image is so spot-on - wonderful color sense, texture on the rocks and jeans. You are so, so good!
