In honor of Skull Appreciation Day I created several projects. I was up all night last night working my cranium to make these craniums look cool!!! Ha ha. Anyhoo, here are my offerings:
First, a couple of cards to warm you up. These cards were made using Smeared Ink stamps. We gave away some freebies for the blog hop participants and I wanted to color them up and give them some character.
For my main project, I started another journal...yep, ANOTHER journal! LOL. I have a weird obsessions with zombie apocalypse...and since we're so close to 2012, I figured this would be fitting. I used the side-facing skull from Smeared Ink's Anatomy 101 digi set. The rest was created with gesso, tissue paper, distress inks, paint markers and a little bit of Mod Podge. I titled my journal "How I Killed the Infected"....the journal will consist of anatomy lessons on how a zombie "works"....and the most affective ways to kill them. I'm really excited about it!!
