I’ve got two
projects to share today featuring one of the Lady Killers from Simply B Stamps,
her name is Arsenic Annie. Here she is
on a tag featuring some “old lace”, you’d think twice before accepting a drink
from this dame with that nasty look in her eye!
I followed a
sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge to make up my tag, it’s hard to see the
writing on the sentiment but it says “If our love is poison how come you’re my
antidote?”. The background paper from
Echo Park features apothecary labels and the top one advises it is “best used
for finding true love” which suited perfectly for my tag. The cute challis charm is from my local
craft shop, The Crafter’s Haven, when I found it on the weekend I knew it was
perfect for my tag. I added some
Swarovski crystals to the rim and one on the inside to make the challis look
full. The poison in the bottle is Perfect
Pearls in Diamond Glaze, which doesn’t seem to want to go hard but that just
means it keeps sloshing around like real liquid so is actually a good thing.
Now I actually made the next one first, where I’ve put Annie on a small glass jar using a wet slide decal. I was going to use the same image on the tag until I realised I had coloured her to match the rest of the Lady Killers for another project I have planned so I had to print out and colour up the other version for the tag!

This time I framed Annie in a suitably gothic
looking frame from Tigers Stock on Deviant Art, check out her great items she
generously shares. I also wanted a
background and I am no good with Photoshop but that’s OK because I found this
great smokey background from Wu-Killah D also on Deviant Art. I really wanted an apothecary jar with a
funky shape but as this is going to my boss filled with nuts I needed a jar with
an airtight seal but I think the shape still works.
