Promenade in the haunted trees

Dearest Minions

This is my entry to the Macabre Monday Garden of Good and Evil is is called "Promenade in the Haunted trees." The background is an old book page gessoed and then stamped with a tree image, then it was scanned in and the creepy children, ravishing Madame and the good sir raven strolled/flew in. (via Itkulpilli's site) I have printed a copy of this and have it above my desk I love the layering and the stories that seem to come out of this - who are they? what are they? do they come alive at night and hide things or am I just messy?

I am also entering this into this week's Inspiration Avenue -texture challenge as I love the sharpe digital images against the texture of the gessoed book page.

Fable - She was a Tidal Queen

Dearest Minions,

Gingersnap Creations- Glorious Greens
Macabre Monday - get lost 
inspire me Fridays - anything goes

The whole images came from the macabre Monday challenge, I love these stamps, but don't use them enough.The challenge sponsored by  is to use a map within the image.

I thought that the female image was starting to look abit SHE HULK at first but after some shading I think that she now looks as if she would kill kick Neptune into the north sea and shove a Walrus where the oil doesn't flow. The title is a quote from "The Other Queen" by Phillipa Gregory which I finished on Friday and is excellent, I thought it really suited her.
