Architectural Elements and Skeletal Remains

Hellooo!  I have a new project to share with you today.  I’ve been working on this one for a few days.  I had to let layers dry before I could put it all together.  You’ll see…

I made this project with two challenges in mind.  The April GDT Challenge on Smeared and Smudged is to Add an Architectural Element, brought to us this month by the awesome Sharon Sahl.  And right now the challenge over at HDH is Skeletal Remains, to include some kind of skeleton, bones, etc.

The skeleton image is one from a while back at The Graphics Fairy.  The archway stamp is a rubber stamp from Mrs. O’Leary’s.  I stamped it on some heavy board and cut it out.  I used a couple of layers of modeling paste on the outside of this notebook, then I painted it with acrylic paint, then I splattered some Dylusions ink on it so that it would look bloody.  Then I added Mr. Skeleton and the arch.

Tada…
