Macabre Monday Strange Brew

Hello, creepsters.  Miss me last week?  Seems I just couldn't get it together for Eerie Elegance, but this week at Haunted Design House we have a Strange Brew "Recipe Challenge" in honor of our sponsor Strange Skin.  I fancy myself quite the gourmet, so this is right up my alley.  And they always say, "The way to a man's heart is through his...no (you naughty minds!) STOMACH"!  I've chosen the fabulous Love You to the Bone.  Our mission was to create a dark, Gothic or Halloween based piece using the recipe: 2 layers+main image panel+metal bits+black pearls+single punched element+ribbon/trim.  Easy peasy, eh?

A couple things of note.  The keyhole on the image made me crave some DP with keys but there was none to be found in my stash so I embossed printed paper with one of the Cuttlebug folders from the Sentimentals Cricut companion set and sanded it.  I have to remember that.  I rarely emboss printed paper but I really love how it turned out.

The image was printed twice and the front of the ribcage was fussy cut and popped so there was room for my single punched element (the heart).  My metal bits are the key and Muse token.  Fabby red ribbon trim.  Looks like shredded stockings, me thinks.

Black pearls, no problem.  Heck, half the cards I make have those on 'em.  So in case you're missing that this is all about love, here's the sentiment.  Not a requirement, just how I'm feeling.  Put it all together and it reads "Only you hold the key to my heart forevermore".  xxxxx  Now off you go to HDH to see the rest of the Minions' fab creations and we sure do hope you cook up one of your own.  Don't you just love a good potluck?

I'm also entering this in the Poisoned Peas Goth/Emo Challenge, and the Forever Night Anything Goes Challenge.
