But, before you go running over there to celebrate and see what other amazing projects the DT's have made to inspire you, let me show you my

PICK OF THE WEEK

(Yet again...NOT an easy task AT ALL)

Amazing creations, every one of them, but this one just really made me smile.

This gorgeous creation comes to you from

Tracey Brossart

Way to go!

  This project is completely stunning and should be framed in an art gallery!

Great job and thank you so much for the inspiration. 

Ok, now on to the walking dead.

This is my Make It Monday DT card 

This fantastic image of the zombie female is from Teri at 

Delicious Doodles, called I'm ba-aack!

You can find it here.

I don't have any tombstone stamps or bones, so these are hand drawn for the cemetery ambiance.

I didn't have hands crawling out from under the earth either, so again, hand drawn.

Also, I really wanted to accent the rotting, decaying skin that was apparent in the original black and white image.   In order to do this, I had to find a way to make dead skin.

Here's how I did this.

Instructions:

1.  Use Acrylic dimensional white writer gel and place it over the area you want "dead skin"

2. Heat it up with the heating tool

3. Drag a toothpick through it once it bubbles and stretch the gel out

4.  Allow it to dry for about 5 minutes

5.  Apply paint and color until you reach your "grossness" quota.

Ok, that's it for me now.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and also a 

HUGE welcome to the latest "Amazing Crafters" on my blog.

Thanks so much for the generous, constructive, humorous, and kind words.

Happy stamping...
