LOC #98 - monsters

 It's time for another fun challenge at Left of Center Challenges!  

Our amazing sponsor this week is Ike's Art.

Did you know that in addition to her fabulous shop, 

Ike also has a challenge blog and has an Ike's Art Fan Page on FaceBook.

For my LOC DT creation I have used Ike's "Children of the Night" and made a set of ATCs.  

After printing out the images I sponged on Citrus Lime ink. I was going for the splotchy look :)  

I colored in their nails with pencil and their teeth with a white gel pen. The design paper is from an older Halloween pack and I mounted that on black CS and added some washi tape to each ATC.

I thought these precious children were a perfect way to start off the month of October.

Now head on over to the LOC blog to check out what the DT has made for your viewing pleasure.  We would love to see your monster creations this week.

Challenges I would like to enter:

Ike's World Challenge #47 - ATCs w/anything goes

Wicked Wednesday ATCs #178 - Orange & Black

Girly ATC

I was checking out the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge this week and found a new fabulous new stamp designer! You have to check out Vera Lane Studio, I couldn't resist I had to get a couple (plus there's a coupon code).  The challenge this week is Girly Stuff so I pulled out some of my more girly papers and had a blast.

This is "Bird Girl" and she comes in a 5 piece set but I've only used her for this creation.  I've colored her with pencils and layered her onto my ATC.  All papers are CTMH.

Challenges:
Wicked Wednesday ATC # 126 - Something Girlie

Celebrate the Season

This week over at Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge the theme for challenge #71 is Celebrate the Season.  I've used this fab image from The Octopode Factory, I picked it up from her freebies last year and finally got around to using it.      

I started with a black CS base and drew some swirls with a white gel pen.   I colored the potion with pencils and then added some more swirls with my gel pen. I cut it out and used foam tape to pop it up off the base. I cut the sentiment which also came with the image and attached it to the side like a tab slightly off the edge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone's 2013 has started just wonderfully! I've enjoyed having some time off of work but tomorrow it's back to the grind. One of my resolutions is to take (make) more time for the things I like to do.  One of which is stamping of course!  So I've started off the new year right on track by playing with one of my new images I recently purchased and made an ATC. This adorable little skull is from Dilly Beans, isn't she fab?!

I've colored her with pencils and layered on kraft CS then on brown CS.  Added a little bit of bling and voila!

I would like to enter my ATC into the following challenges:
Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge -  #64 skulls & skeletons

Christmas ATC

So I've been more int he Creepmas spirit than the Christmas spirit so far this holiday season but I've seen so many cute creations and images out in blog-land that I thought I would jump in and have some fun. This adorable little Christmas Elf is a freebie over on Beyond the Fringe Crafts.  Carmen always has wonderful freebies and right now she's got a ton of fabulous holiday ideas posted as well.

For my ATC  I've colored Christmas Elf with pencils and fussy cut him out. I've layered him on red CS and some texture paper from my CTMH stash. I've popped him up with some foam tape and added a red sparkley brad. 

I will be entering this project into the following challenges:

Dilly Beans ~ layers and pop dots challenge

ATCs with Attitude ~ #28 anything goes

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge ~ #60 Frame It

Believe in Who you are!

This is my ATC I'd like to enter into the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge.  The theme this week is owls.

Angel ATC

I made this little Angel ATC for the challenge over at the Wicked Wednesday Weekly ATC Challenge, their theme this week.... yep you guessed it Angels :) This lovely stamp is from Stamp On It. My sentiment and all other supplies are from CTMH.
