31 Days of Halloween - Day 13

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! Today is day 13 of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. To check out the rules or to see if you are winner on the daily scavenger hunt please head on over to Terra's blog.

For today's project I decided on another rolodex card, I'd forgotten how fun they are :) I covered it with gesso and used my watercolor crayons. After I blended with water I took  paper towel and dabbed off the extra water - I loved how the texture of the gesso showed better after taking some of the color away. On a separate piece of CS I stamped my skull from Inkadinkado and my sentiment from CTMH. I cut them out and added to the card. I stamped in pansy purple but it came out way darker than it usually does, but I like it anyway :) Then I used a purple metallic sharpie to add my dots around the edge.

Now head on over to see if Trisha has joined in the hop yet :)
