Shrieking Harpies Strike

It has been about three moon cycles since the last musical performance at the village square, which, after the last debacle, doesn’t seem quite long enough. After the Wolf’s Bane concert disaster, you can image my concern when I got word that their sister band, Shrieking Harpies, was planning on playing in the village square. I wasn’t taking any chances and rounded up the whole Guild, making sure we were well armed before heading to the village square in anticipation of the worst.

This card was created for the Creative Card Crew’s “Bling” challenge that is happening now. You can win a $15 voucher from our sponsor Scrapping Center who sell a multitude of crafty items!

 

One of my co-workers at the horse carriage repair shop spotted this card and requested a “girl version” in pink for her niece. {QUEST ACCEPTED}! I started by colouring The Greeting Farm’s “Leslie” using Prismacolors and paper piecing her hat. Instead of colouring the button on her hat, I glued an actual button overtop and added a rhinestone to the center, earning myself +79 blingy exp points. The guitar I cut using the Rock Princess cartridge. I used Glossy Accents on the guitar and added more rhinestones and a ribbon. The shape for the sentiment was cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sentiment came from The Greeting Farm’s “Creeper Crew Collection”, which incidentally is also the set the image is from. 

On the inside I embossed the one side with music notes using my Cuttlebug. I stamped the pulse lines using the Dylusions “Bordering on the Edge” set.

I stamped the pulse lines again on the envelope to make it all matchy-match and added some little music notes.

This card will be rockin’ in the following challenges:

Surprisingly the concert went well. The Shrieking Harpies played for about two hours and everyone left unharmed. The four of us were on our way back to the Guild Hall commenting on how perhaps we overreacted, when we spotted the worst. One of our barns was aflame and our house gnomes were rushing around frantically trying to control the blaze. I sprinted up the hill the rest of the way to the Guild Hall. Grabbing Olga, who was rushing to the barn with a pail of water, I demanded to know what happened. Through sobs she said once we had all departed for the village, some bandits showed up at the Guild Hall, stealing various items and setting the barn ablaze. Some of the hellhounds had been slain trying to fight them off. Shaking with anger I asked if she knew who they were. Olga choked back a sob, “They...they said they were part of a group c-c-called the Shrieking Harpies.” We had been played for fools. Lured away so the Guild Hall could be looted. Vengeance would be mine.
