Freaky Friday Challenge #61

It's time for more freaky fun over at Forever Night Creepy Challenges! This weeks challenge is 3-2-1.  We are asking that you use 3 embellishments, 2 images and 1 sentiment. 

Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles and we had some wonderful images to play with.  I chose to use this Goth Guy, isn't he fangtabulous! My 3 embellishments are the 3 little black gems to the right of the image. My 2 images are the goth guy and that smudge stamp I used on the base CS. And my 1 sentiment is "believe".  

The DT has some awesome samples for you to check out so head on over to our blog to join in on the fun this week. I can't wait to see what you create!

Forever Night Creepy Challenge #59

Hello Friends!
Forever Night Creepy Challenges has their first challenge for the new year happening right now.  The theme this week is Inspiration from a Horror Movie / Anything Goes.  Our fabulous sponsor for this week is Limited Runs Digital Stamps. I chose to work with this darling little gal Madison & Hatchet.

I've colored her with pencils and added some blood to her dress and hatchet.

For the base card I took a red ink pad and did the DTP (direct to paper) technique to give the look of blood being wiped across it.  

Forever Night Creepy Challenges has a new challenge every Friday and we've got amazing sponsors set up for 2013 so I hope you will stop by and play with us.

12 Days of Creepmas Day 4

 Good Morning Friends! This will be a quick post since I'm running late for work this morning :)
My first project is an ATC for the 12 Days of Creepmas Hop with Smeared and Smudged. I've used this lovely sugar plum fairy from Smeared Ink.

She was crying out for lots of sparkle so I've added lots of glitter to her dress.

My second project is my DT card for Forever Night Challenge # 57 this week. Our sponsor is the fabulous Sassy Studio Designs, the theme is add lace/anything goes.

I didn't have any lace in my stash but I thought the background paper looked rather lacey :)  I hope you find the time to join us at Forever Night Challenges this week.

Next stop for the Creepmas hop is Susan.

Freaky Friday Challenge #55

Hello my friends, welcome back to another week of fun over at Forever Night Challenges.  This weeks theme is to use the color purple in your project. 

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Dilly Beans Stamps. For my first card I used this lovely image.  I just love her big eyes.  I've colored her with pencils and added a sparkly spider as a clip in her hair.  I fussy cut her out and layered her onto some b/w polka dot paper and then onto a purple CS base. The sentiment is from CTMH.

 

 

My second card I got to use this cute robot. I also colored with pencils and then cut out to layer onto purple texture paper on a green CS base.

I would love for you to join us this week and show us your purple projects.  Forever Night Challenges is also have a DT call. If you like the darker side of crafting please visit our blog to find out more info and see if you'd be interested in joining our team.

 

Freaky Friday (a few days late)

Hello Friends!

 This week's challenge over at Forever Night Challenges is anything goes.  Our sponsor is Limited Runs and I was able to play with this wonderful image of Igor.  The winner this week will be able to choose 3 digis from the Limited Runs store, how cool is that!

 

 

 I started with black CS then layers a piece of glossy CS that I had done the waxed paper technique.  I figured it gave it a dungeon or bell tower texture :) Then I colored and fussy cut Igor, and I colored and cut his handsome face a second time.  I popped each image with foam tape for dimension.
Now hurry on over to Forever Night Challenges to join in the fun!

PS Limited Runs has a cute Chirstmas ornament freebie from last Friday too, so go over and check that out.

 

Freak Friday Challenge

Today begins a new challenge over at Forever Night Challenges.  This weeks theme is to use orange, black and grey / anything goes.

  I started with a black CS base for my ATC. Then I used my cuttle bug to emboss this awesoem bingo card background and used the direct to paper technique with my orange stamp pad.  I sponged over with grey ink so the white wouldn't appear so stark.  Then I stamped the crow and candlestick (CTMH)  in grey on another piece of whtie CS and fussy cut out and mounted onto the ATC with foam tape.
Now get on over to Forever Night Challenges to enter this weeks challenge, we are being sponsored this week from Meljens and the winner this week will get 3 of her images!

I went with purple and gery tones mostly for this one.  My metallic elements include the gems on the bottom - I know it's a stretch but they look like they have a shiney metallic finish :) and I've also used a metallic sharpie for some of the dots in the sky.

Freaky Friday Challenge

It's time for another freaky challenge over at Forever Night Challenges. This week our fabulous sponsor is Tickled Pink Stamps. I got to work with this gorgeous Lil Haunts Ghost Willow.


I colored her with pencils in shades of purple, gave her some ghostly grey skin and popped her eyes with green gel pen. I've added some bling to her dress and some more around the edge of the card using black glitter glue.
The theme this week at FNC is anything goes, you just need to add some bling to your creepy creations. The prize is 2 digi stamps from Tickled Pink! What are you waiting for, hurry on over and join in the fun!

Time to walk the plank....

Hello Friends! It's time for another fabulous challenge over on Forever Night Challenges, the theme this week is "pirates" so grab your eye patch, your parrot and your rum. You have until Thursday to join in on the fun as there is a new challenge every Friday.

Our sponsor this week is Sassy Studio Designs and they have some Fab-U-Lous images! And they have an amazing blog with wonderful samples from their DT and even some challenges, you've got to check them out.
I got to work with this sassy pirate, isn't she gorgeous?! I went with brown and teal as my colors. Started with a corregated card base and added papers from my stash. She's colored with copic (skin) and colored pencils. I added a couple little dots of bronze glitter glue for sparkle and then called it done. I was making some flowers and a pin to add on the card but it was looking to busy, so I left it simple (and sassy).
I will be entering this beauty in the challenge over at Smudgy Antics this week, their theme is "anything goes" and there are still a few hours to get in on the fun over there.
Thanks for stopping by!

Freaky Friday Cahllenges #28

Welcome back friends, it's time for another wonderful challenge over at Forever Night Challenges. This weeks theme is "anything goes - but keep it dark" and our sponsor is Stitchy Bear! I got to work with this lovely image called Flight of Fantasy.
Isn't she lovely? First I colored her with pencils sticking with pinks, blues and purples. I really need to get more markers because I think she'd be even more stunning colored more brightly. Then a little bit of glitter glue to make her wings sparkle. Then I added liquid glass to all the swirls, I wanted to give it a type of stained glass look. Then I figured heck why not add liquid glass to the entire fairy. Here's a better shot to see the shine on the liquid glass.

You have to be careful because when you use a lot if it the paper has a tendancy to curl up a bit. Then I cut her out and mounted on pink CS then onto black CS. It was still missing something so I tried ribbon and rhinestones but that didn't work for me so I went with some glitter glue around the pink CS.
Go check out the blog to see the wonderful art from the other gals on the DT, there is a varietly of images at Stitchy Bear too so make sure to check them out!

Bloody Valentine Blog Hop

Welcome to the Smeared & Smudged Bloody Valentine Blog Hop. I have a couple of projects to share with you today. The first is an ATC, this is my project for Forever Night Challenges. This weeks theme is "Unlock My Heart" and our sponsor is Strange Skin. I was able to choose this awesome skull key to work with. I colored the key with pencils then added some detail with gel pens. Then I went a little crazy with the gel pens and added the lines and dots all over the place.

I couldn't stop with just one of Strange Skin images so I spoiled myself and got another image to play with. I recently discovered fat pages, basically your project needs to be 4x4. This is such a fun size to play with. So for my fat page I colored the edges with watercolor crayons then added enough water to blend and make it drip down the page. After that dried I attached my skeleton heart and went crazy once again with the gels pens and little dots. It makes me happy to see those shiny little dots. The entire Bloody list is over to the left you won't want to miss a single stop along the way :) We have 2 more days of this fabulous hop so I'll see you tomorrow and don't forget to start working on your own "unlock my heart" project and join in the fun over on Forever Night Challenges.

I will also be entering my projects in the following challenges:
ATC -
Challenge 6 anything goes - ATCs & Cards with Attitude
Wicked Wednesday #18 hearts/love - Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge
Fat Page:
HDH119 Freakers free-for-all - Haunted Design House
