Queen of the Damned: Haunted Design House

You get another fantastically fast post since I'm so behind: Not just in creating this for a deadline that is now less than an hour away but also because I was supposed to make baked spinach dip stuff for lunch ... now it'll be for dinner.

Oh well. Crafting is always more important!

OK, this lovely girl is Prom Queen from Stampotique and is honestly one of my very favorite stamps it the world!

I've owned her for a couple of months, but until today didn't feel that I had just the right project. Thanks to Haunted Design House Macabre Monday for giving me a fabulous reason to use her!

She's black embossed on a cranberry color wash background that was allowed to drip down the face of a tag that had already been spritzed with butterscotch color wash.

The sentiment "All Ways Are My Way" is from the sadly defunct Scroll Works Stamps.

Our Prom Queen finds herself wearing an aluminum can crown that began life as a fleur de lis, and she is surrounded by fired brick Distress stickles that offer just a tiny bit of the glimmer you'd expect from a high school dance.

Thanks for dropping by everyone!

    I love your sense of propriety. Once again you have created delightfully gruesome tag. What a great technique for the background and th crown is very cool.

    Ah, lunch dinner, life, they're all just a distraction from your Muse who will insist that you create these wonderfully creepy creations!
    Thanks for playing along with our Queen of the Damned challenge at HDH, and sorry my comment's a bit late. Hope to see you at this week's challenge too - Carnival of Curiosities :D

    Cranberry and butterscotch. Sounds a fab combination to me. I'm forever forgetting to take the dinner out of the freezer to defrost. Hence to get to eat quite late often!!!!!! Hugs Mrs A.

    This is really cute and I love the sentiment!!!

    Wow, I can't believe I finally found you -- it's only taken me forever; and all because I noticed you'd commented on Donna's (Popsicle Toes) blog!!! I tried locating you a while back ago when you visited my blog but The Google Friend Connect did not show your blog address.

    I'll be back around now to visit!

    Have a happy day, my friend!
