Horror stories for gingersnap...second post today

Hey the bloggers,
Well this challenge was horror stories and Edgar Alan Poe inspired...I thought and thought and then went for it!!!

I started with a tag and covered half using Edgar text from his book, which felt a bit naughty but looked good!!! I over stamped the other side of the tag in text inked with pumice stone.
I inked the tag using distress inks in pumice stone, black soot and aged mahogany to create an eerie feel, I hope!!!!
Then I waited for the ink to dry (well blasted it again actually, patience is not my strong point when I am on a roll!!!).When dry I heat embossed the Tim pen nibs, which I just love, and embossed using detail embossing powder.I love the detail and shine in contrast to the eerie smudgy background.
finally I added a splat stamp using aged mahogany DI.

I added staples down edge of text, pen nibs, a heart cut from grungepaper and half covered in tissue tape with text and finally a treatment with. Picture of Poe himself.
To add to the stories and writing element, I stamped pen nibs onto the ribbon.
My favourite piece is the dolls house books which I added some text and blood to one of the pages.

I love the feel of this tag and how it all came together, let me know what you think, gently!!!
