Famous Last Words at Haunted Design House


It's another Macabre Monday and the second week for our Famous Last Words Challenge at Haunted Design HouseNow these last words don't necessarily have to be from a famous movie or well known novel, although I happened to choose "Pet Sematary" by Stephen King, a personal FAVE!  They can be death bed utterances or confessions of someone famous or infamous. Be creative, but try and be dark, or funny AND DARK, ok?  My piece combines digis from some of my FAVE artists. The graveyard background is by fellow Minion Teri of Delicious Doodles.  You can find yours HERE.  I actually cropped out the building and sky in the digi and combined two of the gravestones only (one flipped) to get a more rustic setting, then shaded a bit with Copics and sponged with Distress.  I had to include the quote from Jud in the book because no truer words were ever spoken (in this case, anyway).

The fab kitty (who inspired it all) is from fellow Minion Ike.  You can find yours HERE. I colored him sort of roughly with Copics (he's been hit by and car and came back from the dead, after all) but the eyeballs were clipped from a Pet Sematary Book cover I found on the net (see the gravestones reflected in his eyes? WAY COOL!) and pasted in with my Printmaster program.  WooHoo!  I kinda love it!

I have to say that the word "Darling" often gives me chills, but not in this way.  This final word is uttered by Rachel (after she's killed by the son they resurrected and then hubby decides it would be a good idea to try it with her too. Silly man!)  and the rest lies in your imagination.  EEEK!!  I crinkled and distressed this quote to represent her gravelly voice as she lays her hand on Louis' shoulder.  The mind is way more creepy when left to it's own devices but I imagine Rachel doesn't look a hell of a lot better than this chick, (part of)one of the Zombie pin-ups by Smeared Ink.  You can find yours HERE. So there's my cheery little offering for fine Monday morning.  Now scurry off to Haunted Design House to further taint your week and please consider getting your creep on and joining us in the dungeon.  I know you wanna.  xx

  5. Hi Donna,
    Love your creation, and love how you did the cat's eyes! Brilliant work!
    I was just at Dawn C.'s blog and I saw a button for: http://toffchallenge.blogspot.com/
    I was trying to leave a comment there. It would not let me. I even clicked the thing so I could listen to the thing for what to type in so my comment would publish. It still wouldn't let me comment. I can not find an email address to let the person that runs that blog know. Then I saw your name as a DT so I came over here. Could you let the powers that be over there know that it would be nice if they could turn it off? I would like to comment on all of the DTs projects they are all beautiful! Also I didn't know about that blog. And since I am a big time AIW fan, I will be playing!
    Also I see Stampin' Up! info on your blog are your a rep for them?
    Hope your day goes great!
    Peace,
    Kristy
