LOC # 108 - black & white Christmas

This weeks challenge over at Left of Center Challenges is black & white Christmas and our wonderful sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps.

I've created a journal page using Define Naughty, isn't she great! I colored her with pencils and had to add a bit of red glitter since it's Christmas time. 

Make sure to check out all the amazing DT makes at LOC and join in the fun this week!

LOC #92 - nature/outdoors

It's time for a new challenge over at Left of Center Challenges.  This weeks sponsor is Stitchy Bear and the theme is nature/outdoors. I have used Bright Eyes on my journal page. 

I covered my page with gesso making sure to leave lots of texture. Once that was dry I used a TH distress spray in Mermaid Lagoon and a Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Cornflower Daze. I attached my image to the page with foam tape and after adding the quote I added some more texture with a silver Perlen Pen.

I hope you can join us this week at LOC challenges, make sure to check out all the DT makes and join in the fun and share your nature/outdoor creations with us. 

PunkYouGirl - # 19 Creepy Christmas

Hello my creative friends!  It's time for a new challenge over at PunkYouGirl Challenges.  This month's theme is Creepy Christmas and our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps.  I have used Eric the Zombie to make my card.  

I've colored him with pencils and cut him out to layer on my card.  Eric looks rather sad to me, I'm thinking he must have been bad this year and Santa isn't going to leave him any brains or body parts to snack upon, poor Eric.

Now head on over to PYG Challenges to see what the rest of the DT has created for their Creepy Christmas cards and I hope you join in the fun.

PunkYouGirl - Lavish Lace

Hello Friends! I'm so excited to share the news that I've joined the PunkYouGirl DT! This is my first post as a member of the design team and our theme for the challenge is 'lavish lace', we want to see you use some lace on your creations. Our sponsor for this challenge is Stitchy Bear. They have so many different stamps to choose from you have to hop of over to check them out.
For my first contribution on the DT I have used La Llorona (The Weeping Woman).

The image is so amazingly shaded I just barely added a bit of color to it using colored pencils. I started with a white CS base and used the Tim Holtz Doily tag stencil and black soot distress ink to create my lace background.  I used a new die cut I just got a few weeks ago when a stamp convention came to town (so much fun!) and at the moment I can't remember who it's from. But I used it to cut out 2 pieces of white CS and used the same black soot distress ink to color it up and added it across the front of my card. 

You should see the wonderful creations that the DT have come up with. Head on over to the PunkYouGirl Challenge Blog and then find some lace in your stash and join in on the fun.

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!
