The Master

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well, and thank you so much for all your kind comments on my previous post :)

Today we would like to invite you to Quoth the Raven, Nevermore to take part in our second challenge...... which is to create....... anything you like........ bearing the likeness of the Master himself, Edgar Allan Poe.

Here is my take on the challenge theme


The image is from the net...... It was used to promote a Warner Bros. TV pilot about......you guessed it .....Edgar Allan Poe.  The cameo image is a stamped image by Cherry Pie Art Stamps it was scanned into my PC and printed small enough to fit the cameo, I love the way the cabochon magnifies the image.  The backing paper is from the Apothecary Emporium collection by Echo Park.  The cameo surround, ribbon, tassel and lace are from my stash.

Good Morning Everyone :)

Enough of my blah and here is my card for both events :)


This card is made up of several layers......... attached to the base card is the Mesh, which was a bit bright .....so I inked it with my Black Stazon...... but it's still a bit bright!  Next is a digi DP from Crafty Chaos Designs.......wrapped around the DP is a piece of velvet ribbon with a black chain running up the centre.  Next is the image by Wursu from Deviantart.  For embellishments, I have used feathers and a broken broach.... both from my stash.  For the sentiment I have used a stamp by Cherry Pie Stamps heat embossed in black.
