TodayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge wants us to use Feet in recognition the reference to Hobbit feet in TolkienÂ’s The Hobbit. One of the first things I noticed on this zombie image was the feet on the left zombie. The second thing I noticed was the other zombie has no feet..actually no lower body, lol. And since itÂ’s nearing Halloween & the filming for the TV series The Walking Dead is filmed in my area, I thought this card would be fitting.
The zombies were stamped on gray c/s (using my Misti) & colored w/ Prismacolor pencils. I stamped them again to bring back the details I tend to lose when using Prismas, then masked them & stamped the graveyard border behind them & the greeting below. Again, I used Prismas to add the shadows & a white gel pen to add the highlights on the headstones. Prismas were also used to add the moon & clouds & go over the panel edge.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Oh Julie, this is fabulous!! Two of my grandsons (as well as my DS and DD) are BIG fans of the Walking Dead (Yuck!), and would love this card. Thanks for the inspiration. Your coloring is wonderful, and the scene you created is amazing!

Oh, I can think of several people who would just love this! I have a friend who had zombies for the figurines on her wedding cake, LOL. Using the grey card base is extra effective.

Fun and just a little frightening Makes me look forward to The Walking Dead coming back on. Who knew I would fall for a show like that?
You have a very cool stamp collection, Julie!
