Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS399) asks us to spook out the gallery w/ a Halloween card. I think these Zombie images are pretty darn spooky! And fitting..since they film The Walking Dead in my area. So far, I’m just not seeing a way out for those non-zombie folks. But it does remind me of a joke I read…”if the zombie apocalypse ever happens, I’m going to Costco..they have concrete walls, years of supplies & you have to have a membership card to get in”. Yep..that’s where I’m heading!
I picture these zombies as kind of greenish gray so thatÂ’s how I colored this Zombie Gal. Since the bg is also a shadowy gray, I wanted some color so I added the orange to her shirt & the spooky moon (which was stamped separately & fussy cut). The bg was sponged in using the pumice ink & a cloud stencil I made using a piece of acetate (from a piece of packaging) & a pair of scallop scissors. I made it out of the plastic because I wanted it to hold up & also so I could wipe it off. Since it was made years ago, so far, so good! I used the same ink to stamp the grass.
Thanks so much for looking & I'll see you at Costco! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Amazing! I totally love this. My DD is part of the theater group at our local college and they opened Night of the Living Dead this week. For me, this couldn't be better. Spooky for sure.

Holy Smokes, this is a fab Halloween scene. Your zombie is s-c-a-r-y. I'm sure I'll see a few on Halloween night.
BTW, I'll meet you in Costco.

Great job with the spooky scene! The image is creepy, in a fun way. Wonderful colors. Thanks for the tip about the zombie apocalypse. I will now think of you when I go to Costco and smile. Don't forget your Membership card! TFS
