My Motto? Craft or DIE!!


Can you believe that tomorrow is MAY??? Seriously?? It seems like yesterday that we were making holiday posts!!! Jeesh! It's fantastic!! May is a great month...heck...it's the gateway month to SUMMER! YAY!!!

Anyway - I have a little cutie patootie here for you. I have been waiting, and waiting and waiting to create with this CRAFT OR DIE stamp. It is my FAVORITE in the Goth category....since the say Vicki put it on the shelves at QKD!!!

I went to my scrap drawer (as I always do ESPECIALLY with a DIS creation...it's where the best inspiration lies!) And I just grabbed a little of this, a little of that, some solid cardstock for the card base and VOILA!

I stamped CRAFT OR DIE in Momento Tuxedo Ink. I then colored everything with my Copic and Prismacolor markers. I put in a brad on each bird's wing for some added dimension. I crumpled up my argyle layer and stitched it down to the card. I backed my main layer with cherry and skull paper using my corner rounder on layers one and two.

I then grabbed some PTI DP and cut a variety of circles (my new 'thing' lately) and arranged them on the top of the card. I used a few silver pearls that I had for a little blinggity bling.

I truly hope you enjoyed my creation today!!! Head off to The Castle to see the coolness all around!

Happy Weekend everyone!!
