Now on to the card. This card took me all week to make! I spent one evening trying to come up with an idea. I finally pulled out my red acrylic paint and splattered up an 8.5 by 11 piece. I made a huge mess, too, getting red paint splatters all over my kitchen counter and on my clothes. Fortunately I was wearing old ones I usually reserve for housecleaning! Since the acrylic paint was pretty thick in some spots, I had to leave it overnight to dry. Once the paper was done, I decided the red looked a little like blood (hope that doesn't gross you all out!) so I paired it with this cute little vampire from Booglie Eyes. I was almost finished Thursday, but I was struggling to find a sentiment and figure out a layout. Tonight, with fresh eyes on the card, I remembered some sentiments a friend sent with some Halloween images and pulled one out. I didn't want to cover up the background paper, so I just added a couple of bats to the background and a simple suede ribbon and called it good! I also added some sparkle to the sentiment and the vampire's cape with a spica clear glitter pen.
That's it for me tonight. See you around the Web tomorrow for World Cardmaking Day!

This is so darn cute! I love this little guy! Awesome Mish...
Love this, Mish! But I'm with you on the paint platter thing. I hate making messes, and especially with something that I have to do and not really know how it's going to turn out. You did a fabulous job with the challenge - love the end results!!
cute! i love the drips of "blood" so much fun!
