Heartstrings and ...The Little Hop of Horrors

Hello, my name is Shelley and welcome to Heartstring Designs!!  I am so honored that Nicole included me in her fang-tastic blog hop today and I am so happy you found your way here from the amazing Robyn over at My Pink Stamper.  I am sure you loved the wonderful project she offered you as well as all the fun bloggers you have met along the way that have put their "spell" on you.  If you have stumbled upon me and want to start at the very beginning of this amazing hop, you can hop over to the beginning of it all and visit Barb at Haunted Design House.   Be sure to read all the way through my post today, because there is a giveaway at the end!!

Today I decided I would share with you something a little different.  I took one of my Vintage Girl Rubberstamps from my very own stamp line over at Shelley Bean Stamps and using my Copic Markers, turned her into something a little different.  How do you like her now?

Here she is sporting her new greenish skin-tone and her red eyes under a ghastly moon....After the transformation I showed her to my husband and asked his opinion.  He said he liked the look of it...a bit eerie, kind of s e x y...but he thought she was maybe a little too "good-looking" considering she was now one of the undead.  And my reply was, "maybe that is the idea" and he took that notion of predator vs prey and wrote a poem to go with it.  (Yes, he is a fantastic poet!) 

On Friday night my husband and I watched "Sleepy Hollow" with Johnny Depp, and something about this image reminds me a lot of that movie.  Kind of fun and in the spirit of Halloween.  Love it! 

We then combined our ideas together and made a framed wall hanging.  I think we may actually keep it out year-round.  I like it a lot!
