RSD October Newsletter Freebie

Not only is it Rick St. Dennis’s October Newsletter Freebie time, but all this is in conjunction with Smeared & Smudge’s “31 Days of Halloween” blog hop. This happens to be Day 5 of the Halloween Blog Hop. To be eligible for all the prizes you must hop about each day. Your starting point is here.

For the Airless Chamber’s post for day 5 of 31 Days of  Halloween, the whole of Rick’s Elite Design Team's (EDT) assignment was designing with Rick’s new image Callista the Witch. This darling little witch was provided by Rick, along with his monthly newsletter. If you would like to be on his newsletter email list, click here, and sign up. This is the only way you can receive any of his monthly images. Take a peek at Rick's Etsy shop. Once you visit his shop you will want more. His artistic range is from the cute to the horrific. Rick’s style is definitely in the eclectic range, right up my alley.

Along with this blog hop, we have an “October Newsletter Freebie Contest.”  Check the top pages at the Airless Chamber’s blog. Here is a way you could win some more images from Rick, but you must use Callista the Witch for your project. The winner is chosen by Rick’s EDT and if there is a tie, Rick will be the one to break it.

For my Callista project I decided on a tag. I had so much fun grabbing supplies for this project. A friend of mine, Gloria, made up some white wonky eyed skulls in polymer clay that I added to the side. Aren’t they the cutest? Check out her Etsy shop.

Callista was colored with Copics and die cut with Spellbinder’s Long Deckled Edges Rectangles. These were prefect for this tag. I also grabbed some new chipboard accents from Make it Crafty at SCACD. I also got to use my new Distress Paints in some Halloween colors.

Copics used:

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 13, R20

Hair, Bloomers, part of snake:

YG21, 23, 25, 67

Apron, part of socks and hat band:

V000, 12, 15, 17, 09

Hat: C00, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Background: W000, 0, 1, 3, E17, 74

Other supplies:

Distress Ink in Black Soot

Designer paper from my stash

Tag and cheese cloth from my stash
