Truebie or not Truebie?

Well, are you?  A fan of HBO'S True Blood, I mean.  That's our challenge theme at Haunted Design House this week, so your mission is to create a dark, Gothic or Halloween based piece inspired by the series (that would be VAMPS peeps, in case you live under a rock.  LOL).  When Googling True Blood, one of the images that caught my eye was the advertisement for Tru Blood, the synthetic blood nourishment beverage for vampires.  Catchy slogan, eh?  It immediately brought to mind one of my fave stamps from Bombshell, Man's Ruin.  She's colored with Copics and fussy cut and then I stamped again on red vellum and paper pieced for the cocktail.  YUMBO!  She's popped atop a blood drip background from this Tiddly Inks freebie (funny how I use this A LOT!)  and I've added a wine charm with fabby vamp teeth from Scattered Tenacity.  Please visit HDH for more inspiration, and again on Wretched Wednesday for additional fun from Creepy Glo and whomever else was slow on the go this week and remember, please drink responsibly.  Oh, and be sure to come back later today for the Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop, sponsored by Smeared Ink.  Loads of skullie goodness and prizes.  You know you wanna!

I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge.
