Sisterhhood Of Snarky Stampers: "Z" Is For Zombies

Happy Day everyone!  It's October and time for a new challenge over at the Sisterhood for Snarky Stampers ... so you know what that means... 

Edna says: "Z" is for Zombie! 

 

 Eeeeek!

Well I just don't DO the REAL Zombie thing, coloring that much blood and guts makes me queasy, so I went looking for something that I could Stomach (no pun intended... or maybe it WAS? grin).  And I found these awesome digital images from Vera Lane called "Zombie Couple with Cat" ...  and here is what I did with the zombie couple: 

But it was that cat that stole my heart (and probably ate it! bigger grin)... I could not stop coloring that cat.  So what do you do with five Zombie Cats?  Why you RIVER DANCE! Ha!Ha!Ha!

Yup... after I found this quote and made this card I just couldn't stop laughing.  

It still makes me grin seeing all those zombie eyes in a row...

and their stiff little arms...

and then I can just see those little rotting feet going so fast they start flying off and hitting people in the audience!

Ha!Ha!Ha! snort, giggle, wheeeeze... (yes, I am a wee bit twisted in here).

I colored all these images using my Copic markers and I really did have a lot of fun coming up with the perfect shade of rotting green flesh and yellowing eyeballs.  But seriously I am so glad this challenge comes around only once a year!

So do pop on over to the Sisterhood to see what my design teamies have created because some of them are even MORE twisted than me!  And please do consider linking up your own rotting zombie creations (the snarkier the better) for a chance to crowned Queen of Snark or one of her Princesses.  You have until midnight Friday, October 27th to join in.

Thanks for popping in today to see what I am up to and please do leave me a comment if you like what you are seeing!

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers "D" is for Day Of The DEAD!

This week the challenge over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is "D" is for Day of the Dead...

So what in the heck is Day of the Dead?? Well I looked it up and it is a two-day event celebrated mostly in Mexico and Central America on November 1st and 2nd, where it incorporates All Saints' Day and the tradition of honoring your relatives that have passed on. COOL!  So celebrating death and honoring our past... doesn't that mean ZOMBIES?!  Here are the TWO cards I created both using Vera Lane Studios "Quirky Zombie Couple" images!

I created my own Zombie Skin formula with my Copic markers to get just that correct shade of greeny/yellow that I imagine rotting skin has... and I am sharing with all of you Here: Use YG93 and YG61 for the shadows,  YG91 for the overall skin tone and blend everying with a light coating of  YG21 to add that sickly yellow/green hue...

But seriously... a Zombie couple with a Zombie Cat... how cool is THAT?!

So come on down and join us at the Sisterhood for the "D" is for Day of the Dead Challenge... you have until Friday, October 28th at 11:59 pm to link up, and we always pick our favorites to be the Queen of Snark and Her Princesses!

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers "P" is for Pink Halloween!

Happy October Day Peeps!! The challenge today over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is "P" is for Pink Halloween.  And since this is our third year in a row for this challenge doesn't that make it a Tradition?  So let's celebrate both Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness by creating a Pink, Halloween-themed card.

Here is my creation for this year where I am introducing a New-To-Me line of digital stamps from Vera Lane Studios created by artist Janet Klein from Arizona, USA. I have a feeling that you will be seeing a lot more of her wonderful work on my blog in the future.  I used the stamp "Whimsical Garden Girl" to create this card, but you can check out her entire line of digital stamps at her Etsy Shop.... 

I colored my image using my Copic markers, added a witchy hat and cat from my Suzi Blu "Witchy Ways" Unity stamp set and I found this wonderful saying that has so many meanings depending on how you say it - perfect for this challenge I think.

Of course I fussy cut out everything, popped, Stickled and inked it all like I always do... and I am very happy with the results.

Now for those of you that may not have seen them... I am including my past creations for the last two "P" is for Pink Halloween challenges... I think I am creating a bit of a witch-themed tradition of my own.

2015 - My Suzi Blu Witch

2014 ... Wheeeeeeee!

So come on over and check out what other wonderful things the Sisters have created to celebrate these two events, and why not consider linking up your Pink, Halloween-themed  creation   by October 14th at 11:59pm to have a chance to become the Queen or Princess of Snark!

I am sharing this card with the October challenge over at Country View Challenges - All Things Spooky
