Hocus Pocus!!

Ahhhh, dont you just love it when the comfort zone returns!! Created this card for Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge and for Opus Gluei.... a little magic goes a longer way sometimes.

I had fun with the cuttlebug cobweb folder and then went over all the lines with a fine
point calligraphy pen, and added some raindrops for effect. I was puzzling over whether to use a black cat (very Thackery Binx, not to mention chat noir) when I chanced upon this image in my decoupage folders. "Escape" seemed the perfect sentiment given that the strange trio are perhaps beside a door or window....and that poor man looks terrified. As well he should. Blood red seemed the obvious choice for embossing. I think they have a ghoulish almost zombie look, I love their hair and outstretched hands.

This is definitely BLACK magic but I'm really only guessing!

  1. OOOoooh, I do like it when you are in your comfort zone. I personally don't think it means anything about your personality other than you like clean, classic, elegant looks for your work. This is cool, very creepy and spooky.

  2. This is so creepy. The ladies look as though they are trying to kidnap lunch. Or a little snack. Good luck to him trying to Escape. I love it. That image is spectacular. So glad we could oblige your comfort this week at Opus Gluei.

  4. This is really spooooooky, Carolann! I wonder what those girls are running away from... probably the cobwebs. That's how I feel about my home right now... ready to run screaming because it needs cleaning and I have neither the time nor the inclination! LOL

    Love and hugs to you my friend. I'm so happy to be "seeing" you in blog land again.
