Day 22: 31 Days of Halloween


Day 22: Man of Mystery

Today's ATC celebrates the Man in the Shadows, lurking 
about the trees and spying in windows.  Wow that 
sounds more like Peeping Tom. LOL

Anyway, for the background paper, I ran tea dye ink
all over it, then balled it up, as if to go in the trash,
then ran some aged mahagoney and walnut stain over the 
wrinkles.  I thought it gave the paper a real antique look.
I added some drops of splattered blood with stamps from
Martha.  Looks real doesn't it?

The Man of Mystery is also a stamp from Martha
of the same set. I stamped him in embossing ink and
 embossed him shiney black  so he would stand out.
 The scroll work is from
the Happy Hauntings Cartridge.  I love the 
teal color with the red.

See you along the Wicked Blogger Trail.

That blood does look real... Fab ATC. Love the way you distressed the background and added the blood. The teal really does make your image pop, great job.
