Simply Sinister!

The Macabre Monday challenge at Haunted Design House is Simply Sinister this week, and we want to see your creations that are clean and simple, but, as always, in a dark and sinister way. We're sponsored by the wonderful Simply Betty, and I've used one of her digis for my piece, and very little else :P The image is called Morticia, I think she's fab, and she's availabe at the Simply Betty store. Lol, I really thought I'd have no trouble at all with this challenge - take a fab image, add it to a muted bg and don't stick in anything else. And then the internal dialogue started . . . no patterned papers???? . . .what about some swirly flourishy corner bits??? . . .then surely some bling, or ribbon, or lace, or something . . .lET ME ADD IN SOME FANCY BITS!!!!!!!!! No, no, no, and NO!
I have to admit, I love the way it looks now, but it was sooooo hard to restrain myself as I was creating it, I guess I'm just not a "clean and simple" kind of gal :P
These are the other challenges that I used while creating my piece:
Sketch Saturday - sketch 124
Theme Thursday - red and black
One Stitch at a Time - use a digi stamp
Paper Cutz - red black and white
Totally Gorjuss - not square
Create 4 Fun - use a digi

Thanks for looking, now off you go to create your own Simply Sinister piece :D
It's amusing me greatly that people are calling this a Halloween card . . .I made it for Valentine's Day! :P I'm guessing there's not usually much of a crossover with the two holidays ;)
