Reality Check

I've joined Caz's fatbook swap for Hallow'een and as I had never done a fat book page before was a little nervous about it, however I have done my page, just need to post if off to Cazro now .Now I've made one page I thought I'd do another just for fun and this is one I did this afternoon. Its all collage,except for the Paperartsy wording stamp. I could have sworn I had a raven(or crow) stamp but Ican't find one so maybe not. This one came from vintagegraphicsfairy and it is really a crow and not a raven.  The background and E.A Poe image are from Plush Possum Studio who have loads of hallow'een stuff  to download for free. I'm putting it on these challenges:

Gingersnapcreations           - Ravens
Hooked On Craft Challenges - something spooky
Quirkycrafts                        - Spooky
So Artful Challenge            - Crow image
The Stampman                   - night time

    What a fabulously spooky page! And yes, Poe's characters could definitely do with a little reality check, LOL! A perfect pairing. Thanks for sharing this with Gingersnap Creations!

    Wow! You've captured the spirit of Poe on this page - dark, stark, and scary! Great job! I can see a lot of thought went into this! Thank you for joining us at Hooked on Craft Challenges.
