Rock n Rolla challenge at Smeared n Smudged

this month's Rock n Rolla challenge is to be inspired by  the song; "Earth Intruders" by Bjork

This is the first time, I have actually entered the challenge, 2 other times I had Ideas, but never managed to get them from my mind to paper. THIS month, having a superbly perfect and colorful cut of chipboard (I had received as a RAK) looking right at me, blasted an idea into shape!

I knew what stamps to use RIGHT AWAY!

some of this has an extra coating of gloss, like it has been embossed with enamel, in other shots you can see it, but it is too shiny. It is mounted on Black  card stock by STAMPIN' UP, and is a large card.
Stamps used: "Truth", Celtic knot God's eye, 2 dancers by Dee Gruening from BLOCKHEAD STAMPS
    Symbol covered castle turret-tree by TEESHA MOORE

the dancers had some areas that are solid, the other areas I filled in with a black SHARPIE so they would be full silhouettes, I highlighted the "tree" part of the Teesha Moore stamp with sharpie. I tried to cover over the dark areas of the God's eye to make them more black, and I outlined the blue leaves at the bottom of the print also with the sharpie.

Here is the video, so you can see my inspiration.

DAY 31- 31 Days of Halloween, the Countdown to Halloween, and the Real Witches of Halloween

Welcome to Day 31 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN
well it's over! It was Fun, Frantic, Frustrating at times, Full of Fantastic Creations by our Forum Family and now we can Forget about it until next Fall!!   (like my Alliterations?)



Today's Halloween funny:

Today's creation was supposed to be for SBS's 12 days of Halloween, which I thought I had to today to upload. NOPE! I'm aggravated about that, my own fault for not reading, just "assuming" But I fell asleep last night, without having my other thing finished, and I felt like crap and I had a rough night and I still feel like crap so here it is, and I am also going to share two stamped candles that were epic fails! I made one week one(skull) and one week 2.  I will definitely be seeing a doctor later.
here's my 4 X 4 for 10 ghouls a groaning:
It's a scan, so because of the beads we have crappy contact.
paper-PINK PAISLEE, Girl-witch--CTMH (Halloween Dingbats)
masked and stamped 10 times, and then the ten were cutup to fit. "GHOULS just wanna have fun" stamp $1 from MICHAEL'S.
glitter foam stickers- CREATOLOGY. Red Shimmer half beads- MAKING MEMORIES.

I have made candles so many times I do not know what I did wrong that these smeared so. 
I used embossing ink and EP on waxed paper.
Skull and Flourish stamps is from BLOCKHEADS STAMPS and the Kooky Spider wheel is by STAMPIN'UP. The Skull candle will be used tonight as my Samhain candle, and the spider will become an emergency candle. (I am showing you the BEST sides)

I wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN a BLESSED SAMHAIN, and a GREAT week!!!
I'll be here on and off, but I am pretty much gonna be visiting other blogs for the rest of this week, and tallying up comments on my days 1-15 and 16-31 for my 2 giveaways for the 31 days.
To my fellow wicked bloggers, you'll see me on the forum!
