TRUE BLOOD is BACK!

I LOVE the HBO series TRUE BLOOD 
and was thrilled to see a challenge commemorating it's return over at 
HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE.


So I made just a little something utilizing what I happened to have on hand, which is a funerary urn stamp. I tried to turn it into a crystal urn to hold "Talbot" bloody remains.

I also wrote a small poem to go with it, spoken in the voice of Russell Edgington.
The middle stanza is paraphrased from William Shakespeare's MacBeth....I did give that credit on the bottom.

So this is a 4 X 4 (or fat page or chunky page) with a pocket.

Card stock, ink and word window punch by STAMPIN' UP, Embossing folder by CUDDLEBUG, Funerary urn stamp by STAMPFRANCISCO, Corner stamp by BOMBSHELL stamps. Red EP by SPARKLE and SPRINKLE. Holographic EP by STAMPENDOUS. Thin Black pen by FABER- CASTELL. German Scrap by ARTCHIX STUDIOS. Poem by ME!



The Poem says:

True Death

My TRUE love, Talbot
Entombed in Crystal
Silent sobs catch in
my dry breath.

*Our yesterdays have lit
the way to dusty death.
Signifying nothing.
Sayeth MacBeth.*

I will mourn you
with a vengence
until the day of m
my own TRUE death.

*paraphrased from MacBeth; V,v

another page to my mini dark journal

I haven't worked on this in ages...I had started the bkgd. and knew what I wanted to do with it, but hadn't acted on it. Today I finally did.  Those of you who have been around a while might remember I am doing 2 of these in this size, one to reflect me in my dark times and one for my happy times.
The pages are all 4 x 6, and most have something that hangs over the edge(side edge)  not all pages but most.

There is a paper pebble over the skull on the Tombstone, and Crackle effects by RANGER on the Poe image.
