Macabre Monday Mark of the Beast (Recipe Challenge)




Sorry I've been MIA for several days. The gorgeous weather and lack of creative mojo has kept me away. Hope everyone had a fabulous Mothers Day. After the week of lovely weather, our Sunday was cold and cloudy. How disappointing. But now it's time for another Macabre Monday and we have a different kind of challenge for you all. Our Mark of the Beast challenge is a recipe challenge of sorts, challenging you to use 6 of something, 3 different times. Do you dare? It's sponsored by our own Devious Digital Demon-ess Susan of Crafty Chaos Designs. Look no further for the fabbiest digi papers EVER! I've chosen 6 images from the Pumpkin Carving cartridge cut at 1 1/2 inches and the word Beware (6 letters) from October 31st, and to complete the evil trifecta, I've added 6 orange adhesive beads.





Because the images were quite detailed and were originally designed to be cut larger as template for carving pumpkins, I used the multi cut function at 2 times which gave me clean and concise cuts in the small size.




The mat was also cut on my Cricut using George and Basic Shapes and Design Studio and the frame, images, and letters were all popped for dimension. And to top it off, the card measures 6x6 and has six circle openings in the mat. WooHoo! Be sure to visit Haunted Design House for more devilish inspiration and play along for a chance at the fabulous prize. I'm alsoo entering this in Papertake Weekly's Anything Goes Challenge with the optional use of circles. I think this works.

  7. Now I see what you mean about those delicate cuts! How the heck did you manage to get such clean cuts on such small images? I wouldn't have even attempted it. I would have hacked the hell out of it using multi cut. And then to micro pop dot?! Amazing! Love the cool layout and that funky paper!
