Hey everyone there is a really fun blog hop going on RIGHT NOW!!!  Petaloo, May Arts and Coredinations have come together for some fabulously inspiring projects.  All of the DTs were provided products from all 3 companies and then we got to play!!!!

There are lots of chances to win prizes so click HERE  and play along.  Good luck!!!

I want to welcome you to my Haunted Wood!!  I got the distinct privaledge of working with yummy card stock from Coredinations and some more lucious ribbons and trims from May Arts; throw those into a cauldron with Petaloo and I've got one awesome recipe a-brewin'! 

I used a stencil and a stylus to create worn and distressed fleur d'lis on the Coredinations die cut I created.  I matted it with a larger die cut and then distressed the edges.  I LOVE that gorgeous deep purple satin ribbon from May Arts.  It adds such a beautiful elegance to my layers of black.

I adore Petaloo's Color Me Crazy line.  I decided to take some of the lime green blooms and dip them in UTEE for my flower centers.

Ever see the Broadway show Wicked?  I took my DD to it last year and we both never wanted it to end.  I adore Elphaba and created this shoe with her in mind.  I dry embossed the black card stock from Coredinations with a whimsical swirly spiral.  I am a sucker for chiffon, and that wide orange ribbon from May Arts fits that bill.  It made the prettiest, big and fluffy bow befitting of Elphaba.

I decided to sacrifice the large daisy Petaloo flowers by separating all of the petals and aranging them so that they looked something like crows feathers forming a wing coming off of her shoe.  I topped it off with a Petaloo bloom and added that cute little skull as a center.

My final project is this card.  I used one of my all-time favorite ATC images; that beautiful witch.  Isn't she elegant?  I used some more Petaloo Blooms and embossed them with Ranger's Bridal Embossing Tinsel.  I love the grey hue that it cast over the lime green blooms.  Perfecto!

I decided to use a thin green ribbon from May Arts and create a ruffle around the circle with the number 31 on it.  I love the way it turned out.

I layered it all over some distressed and peeled Coredinations black cardstock.  I hope you'll come back tomorrow and see some more jaw dropping projects from my other team members.
