LOC #31 - card for a male

Hello friends! It's time for another great challenge over at Left of Center Challenges. Our theme for this challenge is to make a card for a male. These are usually difficult for me to make but I adore how this one turned out. It could just be because I started with a fabulous image from Dilly Beans Stamps.

I printed Owl Always Love You on kraft CS twice. I colored with pencils and cut the only the eye out of the second image and used foam tape to pop it off the card. I layered on some textured paper from my stash and added some twine.

I hope you can find some time to head on over to LOC to share your talent with us, I'm always looking for ideas and inspirations for "male" cards.

LOC Challenge #8

Hello my Crafty Friends!

The new challenge over at Left of Center Challenges this time around is sponsored by Dilly Beans Stamps. I have many Dilly Bean images in my collection so I chose to work with Adrianna's Mask. I may have mentioned a time or two that I'm gong thru a crazy polka-dot phase and this image fits my mood perfectly with her polka-dot dress :)

The theme this week is to use embossing in your project, either dry or heat. I chose dry and used a cuttlebug folder. Once it was embossing I used the direct to paper technique and swiped my ink pad across my embossed panel until I got the coverage of color that I wanted.  I mounted the panel on a black CS base and then added Adrianna using some foam tape to pop her off the page. A cute little spider image and she's good to go.  I love how the bright blue and lime green coloring turned out.
Now hustle on over to Left of Center Challenges to join in the fun!

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

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.

 

Forever Night Challenge Blog is back up and running.  I don't know about you but I've been missing the challenges terribly.  The winners for the past 5 challenges have been post as well so hurry on over there to see if you are one of them :)
This weeks theme is creepy tags / anything goes.  Make sure you head over to check out what the design team has created  using images from this weeks sponsor - Dilly Beans.

I chose image #385 - sugar skull & flowers framed to work with. I colored it using pencils and gel pens where I wanted extra shine.  I also used some copics to create the dotted background.  I used a bright texture paper from my older CTMH stash and mounted it on black CS.  Add a ribbon and taadaa.... a creepy tag.
