Macabre Monday Queen of the Damned and TOFF Crown or Hat Challenge



This week for Macabre Monday our challenge is Queen of the Damned. I decided that Marie Antionette, losing her head and all, pretty much fit that bill and used a fab Octopode Factory image. The guillotine clip art is from the web and surprise! I've created and interactive Spinner card so you can relive the beheading again and again. WooHoo!


The whole shebang was colored with Copics. See, there it goes! You have to admit, she was sort of a beotch, with that "Let them eat cake", comment and all. The sentiment is computer generated and cut and backed with Nesties Labels Fifteen.


Obviously, it's not always good to be queen. LOL I've added a metal crown brad and jewel, because her crown didn't quite show up enough and I also planned to enter this in the TOFF Crown and Hat challenge. The rest of the Minions have done awesome work so be sure and check out their fabulous offerings at HDH. And please, have a look at the TOFF challenge too. Lily has plenty of ladies with crowns, as well as a new Mad Hatter image from The Octopode Factory, as well as several others, see the post HERE, the proceeds of which will go to Operation Cup of Tea, directly involved with riot clean up in the UK.
