Day 29 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Hello friends.  Welcome to Day 29.  Only 2 more to go.  I don't know whether to be sad or happy.  It's been one heck of a haul, hasn't it?  I've loved every minute of it though.

Today's offering is a "S" fold or "Z" fold card, depends on how you first learned it.  I used two of Delicious Doodles images, The Graveyard and Vampiress.  At first, I was going to add her to the scene with pop dots, but the more I looked at the graveyard, I realized I didn't want to cover it up.  So, I made the "Z" fold card.


I did some shading on the graveyard with eyeshadow.  Yep, that's right.  Eyeshadow.  It makes wonderful chalk.  Plus, it adds some shimmer.  I found some great palettes of eyeshadow at Walgreen's for $1 each.  One even had black in it.  So, I shaded the sky with black and purple and the ground with shades of brown.  Some of the grave stones have a opalescent shimmer to them.  Vampiress is colored with Crayola colored pencils and OMS.  She looks a little light, but that's just the camera.  The sentiment is from my computer.  I added the journaling space to the inside of the fold so as not to cover up the graveyard. I added a few little Martha Stewart glitter bats to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all enjoyed your stop here along this great hop.  Make sure to stop by Terra's  blog for the winners of the Scavenger Hunt, today's sponsors and a refresher on the rules if you need them.  I'm assuming that by this time, you know them by heart. :)  See ya tomorrow for Day 30. 

I'm going to enter this card in the Left of Center challenge for this fortnight.
