13 Days of Creepmas with Rick St. Dennis - Day 2

Well, Day 1 was certainly fun - seeing what all of us came up with! I loved seeing how others on the Design Team used some of the same images that I have waiting in the wings. Doing only the RSD hop, I really didn't find it all that confusing which blogroll to use to stay on this hop. I made it most of the way through the Smeared and Smudged hop as well and will try to finish what I missed tomorrow. The Official Creepmas Hop confused me as most of the blogs I visited did not have a blogroll posted and I kept having to go back to the main page and forgetting where I had been - sort of like when I try to do counted cross-stitch.
Now, after that in depth analysis, let's get to my Day 2 project:

The first shot was my original idea and I had hoped to include Vanessa as well as Vlad drooling over the carolers but the design got a little crowded so I decided she would be just arising from her coffin in the background. This was so much fun to bring my vision to life with Rick's fabulous digital stamps! The book that the house came from is Victorian Houses - A Treasury or 100 Original Designs by David Spelling.

The Euro Carolers were the most time-consuming to color and I wanted to feature them in this little Creepmas box. I printed them in layers on ink-jet printable shrink plastic (which shrinks quite a bit more than they claim as these guys were supposed to go nearly all the way across.) There are four layers - the cat is the top one. I hope that's somewhat perceivable! One of my worst nightmares about Christmas as a child was that Santa would really know how bad I'd been and there would be sticks for presents - thus the "creepy" sticks in the box.

I hope you are all enjoying seeing Rick's digital stamps colored up and in projects and getting lots of ideas of your own on how to use them. Have fun on the rest of the hop and don't get lost!
