HAPPY F.F. TUESDAY

Hello Everyone,
Today I decided to make a card for the Forever Friends bi-weekly Challenge which is being sponsored this time by Whimsy Stamps. The theme of the Challenge is "Punch It Out", so I went mad and got out a Martha Stewart border punch AND my Nellie Snellen flower punches. LoL  I made an easel card, but this time it'sd a straightforward one, however, they are difficult to photograph. I must get round to sorting out my light box.  :-(
Anyway - here it is ............



You must pop over to Forever Friends and play along. The Rules have changed a bit now and you can use other animals as well as the FF bears, so if you don't have any there's no need to worry and you can still join in  :-D :-D

MANIC MACABRE MAYHEM

Hi Folks,
Well this has been a bit of a last minute panic. I nearly forgot about this week's bit of horror and have just about scraped in with this little beast. I whipped him up in my graphics programme but the colouring takes for ever and it's still not finished, but I don't have the time. I am entering him for this week at Haunted Design House - HDH090 NECRO NECKWARE Challenge.
This week they are sponsored by Kasket Kustoms. They have some really great stuff there - pop over and give your eyes a treat :-D
Hi Peeps,
VOTING has not started for 1 week over at Crafters Digital Art Centre.
I have 3 entries in both categories and would very much appreciate your votes :-D


THANK YOU xx

S.A.D.

SKETCH FOR SATURDAY

Hi Everyone,
Over at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays this week our Challenge is a Sketch and you could win yourself a CuttleBug Embossing Folder - Moroccan Screen. :-D This wonderful sketch was created by SSDS's very own Suzanne from My Crafty Corner.



This is my creation. I used an image called TARAH + TAREK, which I know was a Freebie somewhere but I'm really sorry I can't remember whose it is. I tried to find out this week but have failed miserably so far. I coloured them in my graphics programme and coloured picked from the elephant border to create the backing papers.



Why not come over and join us for your chance to win :-D
Challenges I am entering:
Creative Cowgirls - Get Your Groove On (they could be in a Bollywood movie )
Paper Playtime No.46 - Wedding

FRIDAY FOTO COLLAGE

This week, Peggy is doing Renaissance Women over at Friday Foto Collage.
I chose rather a stern looking woman and 'livened her up a little'. Mine's the naughty side of her nature. :-D  LoL

SWANS REFLECTING ELEPHANTS R.I.P

Hi Folks,
I'm on my wierd moment. Having had my Mojo desert me all this week, I was desperate to join in with Haunted Design House this time as they are doing DALI. Not only my favourite artist but my inspiration on a lot of my private art stuff. Yesterday I had an idea and today I have been working on this creation.... my take on one of his paintings entitled "Swans Reflecting Elephants". Of course, I couldn't just do it straight since we are talking about Macabre Monday after all, so I made skellie ellies and swans. LoL. For the background I made a watercolour of a beach near me and I mirrored it to make a sort of pool inlet with rocks both sides. I was well pleased with the result. :-D My skellies I drew in my graphics programme and Voila, or  AquĆ­ se, as Dali would say !!

VINTAGE ATTEMPT 2

Happy Sunday Everyone,
Well, I've been struggling again to get a handle on Vintage and have come up with this attempt. I have distressed and laced and sepia-ed but it still doesn't seem right to me !!! :-(
I give up - maybe vintage is not my bag.

There are ladies out there who do the most amazing vintage looks and I wish I knew how it worked.?
Any constructive criticism gratefully received before I finally call it quits !!
