GOOD NEWS & another E A POE Fat Page

Hello, Happy Hump day!

My Mom is going home today from the hospital! YEA!!
It is supposed to get warm here again for the next few days! YEA!
I clipped the grand dog, yesterday (mostly...I have work to do on his feet (he hates that)! YEA!!
I am cooking pork chops tonight! YEA!!
and the really big news....
My oldest daughter came over last night and stayed talking to me all night(I wasn't so happy about not getting any sleep) It was awesome that we spent some time talking, another chance at mending our relationship! YEA!!!!


now for a bit of mixed media/abstract-ish art:
My next fat page in a Edgar Allen Poe Series...this one- "The Black Cat", 
I call this piece "Warped"

This first picture allows you to see some of the shine

 Ingredients:

chipboard 4 x 4

background paper  by BASIC GREY (oxford)

Fibers from stash

Digi stamp: Cat cleaning it's face (paw is over the eye so appropriate! LOL) by TLC CREATIONS

Rubber stamps: Hour Glass by ALTERED BOOKS, Gothic Corner by BOMBSHELL STAMPS, Head (from the full bust of E A Poe) by SMEARED INK, the word "Warped" by a recently defunct company in the UK (I can't think of their name right now)

Ink by STAMPIN' UP, ENCORE, and VERSAMARK

Embossing powders by STAMPIN' UP, STAMPEDOUS, and SUZE WEINBURG

How I did it:

stamped cat on white card stock, drew in the ripped out eyeball and blood, cut around the top of the cat and trimmed the sides of the card stock a bit. attached it to the 4 X 4, inked the head only of Poe, and stamped it on, inked warped and stamped it on, inked the hour glass and stamped it on, Inked the gothic corner with metallic pigment ink, and embossed with Copper EP-(upper left, lower right)

Then i tapped versamark ink all over the entire 4 X 4, I had a mixture of Clear utee with some silver, red and black reg. EP mixed together, i dumped all of it on (it wasn't a lot) shook it around and then pressed down all over with my fingers to make sure it all stuck good. shook and tapped off lightly the excess.

heat melted it with my heat gun. it is very lumpy and shiny! (the next picture shows this)

After it cooled I took a black and red sharpie, and just redefined some of the lines here and there for more distinction.

 The picture below is the best VIEW, but the colors are more accurate in the last picture and the first 2 pictures.

Entered in:
Quoth the Raven ...the black cat
Smudgy Antics ...anything goes
