Alter Something

Arrrrrgh!!! Alter Something!!! (no cards) is the challenge over at Smudgy Antics this week.  This is my second attempt at altering something and initially this challenge scared the living c#@p out of me LOL, but once I got going I really enjoyed it.

This is what I came up with

I altered a photo frame....... first I stamped the frame with a huge corner stamp I've had for ages, and heat embossed it in red, I then proceeded to cover most of the stamping up with images and embellishments LOL The images I have used are Powder My Nose by Smeared Ink (bottom right) and a Moulin Rouge Can Can Dancers by Prima (top left). The photo in the frame is of Toulouse Lautrec, which I borrowed from the net.   The tassel, ribbon, lace and flowers are all from my stash.

I would like to enter my altered photo frame into the following challenge(s)

Premature Burial

Can you think of anything worse than being buried ALIVE!......... Edgar Allan Poe's  Premature Burial is the inspiration for our new challenge at Quoth the Raven Nevermore....... so gather up all  that horror and fear and express it in your art........ so long as it follows the theme of the challenge, you can create anything you like and add it to Mr Linky.......but, please no back linking :)

Here is my take on the theme

The image is by Antoine Wiertz and I borrowed it from the net, the sentiment is also from the net. The backing paper is from Crafty Chaos Designs.
