🎃 LeighSBDesigns annual 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop🎃

I will be sharing today's Halloween make on Leigh's page....

OK - so how many of you noticed the hint on Leigh's page a couple of days ago?



👻HINT HINT

Oct 7 is Edgar Allan Poe day!  You'll want to share a Poe themed project on Sunday!

Why? It is the anniversary of Poe's death:



During a lecture tour of the East Coast, Poe engaged himself to a former childhood sweetheart (by then a wealthy widow) Elmira Royster Shelton back in Richmond, but he died while passing through Baltimore on October 7, 1849—just ten days before the wedding.

Sorry - couldn't resist adding that...

So...some of you may remember the ATC box I made for Leigh's Poe Appreciation Hop in January - it was an altered whisky box which turned out to be just the right size for ATCs:



It featured images from Ike, Vera Lane and Leigh. One of the ATCs in particular used Leigh's Oddleigh Edgar Allen Poe


Today I have two more Poe ATCs to show you...



I used Leigh's Poe Love and Distressed Splatter Heart   and because I recently acquired a secondhand laser printer and a foiler, I foiled both the images a couple of times in green, blue and purple.



I cut the splattered hearts out with an oval die and distressed these round the edges with vintage photo distress ink. I then stuck them on scraps of marbled background, trimmed then and distressed the rectangle with vintage photo. I then added these to scraps of purple card. Next I cut out the parts of Love Poe, added distress and a touch of colour with Zig brush pens and stuck then in place.




Not sure if you can see the foiling...







Watch out for the next SPOT PRIZE!!
Happy Hopping!
