Inspired by a Song

Forever Night Creepy Challenge Blog has a new theme this week:  Be Inspired by a Song.

I was inspired by the song "Love Potion Number Nine".  I had this lovely image from  Kenny K Designs called Cabaret and already knew I wanted some sheet music for the background.  I distressed the heck out of the paper and the rest of the card fell into place after coloring the image with a mix of Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.
I like that touch of black magic, using a Halloween vellum sticker of the potion bottle.  I added a rub-on of the "No.9", and added some Stickles to make the bottle look like there was a bit of potion left in it.
I will add that Kenny K's image, Cabaret, is lovely enough to not ever have to resort to love potions, but maybe she was in a slump? LOL
Enjoy this week's challenge at Forever Night Creepy Challenge Blog, and as always, keep crafting!!

Time for Another Forever Night Creepy Challenge

This week's challenge at Forever Night is to use a sketch and let your imagination run free.  I used a Bugaboo image--they are sponsoring the challenge this week.  The image is called Skellie Cupcake.  I love that her cupcake has a "cherry bomb" in the shape of a skull!!  Too cute!!
I had fun using leftover pieces of papers from my stash.  For the third year in a row, I have resolved to reduce, reuse and recycle, especially when it comes to paper!!  I have already cleaned out my craft room once this new year.  I need to schedule a clean out once a month.  I also have not bought anything new for my crafting, except for adhesive.  It's rough, but my word for the year is SIMPLIFY, and I plan to live out my year simply.
