Singing Zombie!

Hi everyone!
I am so thrilled to post this project. I had so much fun creating with this image from Rick St. Dennis called Singing Zombie. 
This image is free and is still available here, and you have until the 24th of May to enter the challenge using this freebie.
More Rick St. Dennis images are up for grabs to the three winners, so why not play along? You'll find the place to add your entry along the top of the blog, marked May 2013 Freebie Contest.
Here is my Zombie mixed media card:

This is a 3D card, the image was printed four times, fussy cut and layered up with foam pads.

Used Gelatos, Spectrum Noir and Prisma Coloring Pencils for the background and image.

If you like this image you should visit Rick’s Etsy shop, I'm sure you will find something inspires your creativity.

I would like to enter this project in the following challenges:

• Make it Monday 141: Anything Goes
• Our Creative Corner: Anything Goes

Thanks!
