Beware the Black Widow

This has to be one of my all time favorite images, the lady in red.  My version is a hybrid as I added the spider and web.  When I look at the picture I just think of a mysterious heartbreaking woman that is kind of evil - hence the title.

This is for an arches challenge at Swirlydoos.  I've not heard of arche before but I sure do love the concept.  They are 6" tall, so a bit larger than an ATC, I love that, more real estate!  On this I used alot of silver ink to color the dusty attic chipboard chandalier and the leaves on the flower were a bronzy color until I took the silver inkpad to them!  The flower is really cool IRL as it has the effect of being glassed.  I did that by covering it heavily with clear UTEE.  It is awesome, you should try it!  Too bad you can't really see it, but I highlited the spider web with black diamonds stickles and it looks cool IRL.  I love this, I love black and red so go figure. LOL!!  TFL!!



Lady -Arch with G45

Oh was this an ever fun and new project, it's an arch and is just a 6" piece of artwork using G45's Steampunk pps.   So while I was building this arch my imagination decided that "Lady" is a woman who lives in a belfrey and only comes out at night.

The stained glass piece at the top I made by first using a Cuttlebug die to cut the black frame.  I heat embossed that  using clear UTEE.  Then I took a square transparency and stained it with Ranger alcohol ink.  I put a piece of white paper behind that as the stain just didn't show up well enough without it.  The birds are stamped using a Tim Holtz stamp.  The chipboard is a Dusty Attic piece sprayed with glimmer mist and stickles added to highlight.  The arch is also outlined with blakc diamond stickles.  IRL the DA chippie is a darker color that matches the rest of the piece. There are two Timmy fragments dangling from the bottom.  Finally since I thought we were peaking into Lady's world, I added black netting to add a layer of mystery.  TFL!!
