Soartful: Victorian Amusements

Welcome back to another week at Soartful.
I have another Victorian theme for your this week.
Victorian Amusements
I love these beautiful Carousel horses.
The word carousel comes from the Italian word carosello (meaning "little war"). Carosello was a 12th-century game played by the Arabs and Turks, on horseback, using scented balls tossed from one to another. Anyone missing a catch was readily identified by the perfume they were doused with when the scented ball broke on impact.

**************
I dug out my long ignored Snow Globe stamp set (Stampin' Up!) and made this ATC.
I used 3D Crystal Lacquer to make the 'Globe' after I had stamped and colored the Carousel Horse. I also mixed Glitter in the wet 3DCL. I swirled it around 1 side and over the Horse.
The 2nd picture shows the 'floating' Glitter a bit better. (Click on pic to make it larger.)
Background is off a Collage Sheet shared on the Collage Images Flickr Group.
Inked the torn paper and Background.

Don't miss out on your chance!

Sneak peek as what's been eating up all my time & energy:
I'm waiting to hear back from a show I've submitted it to,
so I can't share it *all* til I hear back, either way.
I've started a new line of creations called 'Portals'.
Q: What is a Portal?
A: A Portal is a Door.
Q: Door to where?
A: Open the door and find out.
First in a series of fantastical Doors (ie. Portals) that when opened give you a glimpse at another time...
another place...
another space...
You don't know what's on the other side til you open the Door.
You want to know, don't you.
Go ahead...
Open the Portal.

Outside the Portal:
Glimpse of what's on the Other Side:

The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog

Macabre Monday HDH075 - Flesh-eating Frenzy!

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based project with a flesh-eating theme. It can be zombies, cannibals, unpronouncable viruses, whatever floats your macabre boat that has something to do with consuming flesh.

**********************
I decided to pay homage to The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.
If you've not seen 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' you may be unversed about this
hellicious furry fiend.
I've attached the video below my Postcard.

Pattern Paper is Fancy Pants
Images are free clip-art.
Blood is Glimmer Mist & 3D Crystal Lacquer
Inks are Stampin' Up!

Death awaits you...
With nasty, pointy teeth.



One Powerful Hour: Something Sweet!

One Powerful Hour: Something Sweet!

Pastels, Cupcakes, Cutie Mouse and Chocolate!
Well inked layers of ripped pastel papers, antique lace and a few brads for the front.
Digi-Stamp image was colored and Glittered (alot!)
The inside says it all!
