UP IN FLAMES

Hello Peeps, here I am with my 2nd offering as part of the Smeared Ink Design Team.

Over at Smudgy Antics  this week, the Challenge is "Up in Flames" - create a project that is burnt, scorched, charred etc. etc ..... you get the idea. :-D 
I had a right wheeze doing this, as at one point part of my project went up in flames !!!!  I guess the inks from my laser printer are a little more flammable than I expected... snort !!!

Anyways, I have used my Castle Room backing (again..  I hear you cry.... but it works sooo well with what I wanted to do). My main images are Lucifer and Thurston from the Gargoyle Set from Smeared Ink. I coloured them in my graphics programme and then put them into the room, adding some shadows. My Fire is from Delicious Doodles and I 'paper pieced' this onto an image of real flames and then I stuck it on with silicone to make it 3D.  My little fire is roasting something for the Guys dinner (that's the bit that's burnt + scorched ) but I think Thurston is a little upset !!!   bwaahahahaha

Let's hope I don't get in trouble for this one !!!!!!  Weeeeell,... if ya can't take a joke - ya shouldn't have joined is what I say !! hahahah

Do pop over and join in at Smudgy Antics 'cos we'd LOVE to have you. :-)   Go on ..... take a walk on the wild side :-D

CREEPY CARNIVAL

Hello Peeps,

I have been really busy this week and now trying to get the quiz questions done for the cat charity Quiz next week, I very nearly forgot about the Macabre Monday Challenge over at Haunted Design House.  This week it is Carnival Of Curiosities and we are to make a creepy circus or carnival image. Well, I decided to make a scary clown. He is originally coloured with watercolour pencils and then scanned into the computer so that I could print him 4 times and 3D him.  He is set against an old carnival poster and I have added some words by the wonderful Ray Bradbury, just to finish off the scariness. :-D

FRIDAY FREEBIE 16

Hi Folks,

I was asked to do a quickie digi for a friend, so this week I offer you an Akita. I've put a couple of little extras on there too. I know I have also been asked for a Bearded Collie a couple of weeks back, so I think I may do a run on Dogs for the next couple of weeks.... how's that ?

GOTHIC BABY

Ooooh .... Me again today Folks,

I am entering this little piece for the 'Gothic Newborn' Challenge over at Smudgy Antics - of which, I'm sure you all know by now, I am a Design Team Member. Group A are showcasing their creations on this week's Challenge, which means I get to enter... WOOT !!
Now, I have used my 'Castle Room' digi (available in Shop) as a home for my baby - not exactly newborn, but kinda cute nonetheless :-)
The babe is from  Stamp Fairy and I have coloured it sort of zombie green. I paper pieced the little romper suit using a paper from Jennifer Vouyakas-Smith. I have also cut out the babe 3 times and layered it to make it 3D. Ghostly screaming mother in the background is from Mountain Goat Designs.
I have one of the excellent bats from Smeared Ink up in the corner there, and he is from the 'Little Bit Batty' set. Oh, and Smeared Ink have had a glorious facelift to the site which you MUST go and see....... the whole experience is tons better and the shopping is sooooo much easier LoL
Anyways, here it is ........

All together now.....Aaaawwwwwww !!  :-)

FOREVER NIGHT

Hello Peeps,

It's time for Freaky Friday Challenge 5 over at Forever Night Challenges. This is a relatively new site I have found and here's what they say on their Welcome.....

"For those who enjoy the dark side of crafting.

We create challenges with an dark edgy theme in mind. Such as Emo, Gothic, Steam punk and punk Just keep in mind that Halloween, also cute is great but the darker the better."

So....perfect for those of you who want to dabble your toes into something a little different :-)

Anyways, this week's Challenge is "Mystical Women" and they are sponsored by the fabulous Delicious Doodles . 

I have used my own digi - Witchy Mou - and teamed her with a background paper from Crafty Chaos Designs - the 'Jezebel's Remains' set. I also used a black Doily from Poppy's Cabin and the Happy Mother's Day rose design sentiment is from Delicious Doodles.

Nearly QUEEN OF THE DAMNED

This is my entry for the Macabre Monday - 'Queen of the Damed' Challenge' over at Haunted Design House. The criteria is....

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece

that uses royalty, crowns, and/or thrones as the focus.

'Nuff said ......

TEMPTATION

Me again today :-D.

I have done this little Mini card this afternoon. I snagged a Freebie digi from Dude Time Doodles and he's called 'Gavin Ghost'. I painted him in my graphics programme and stuck him on with silicone so that he pops out a bit. I added the  whispering 'Tempter' and a sentiment tag. The background is from the Tempus Fugit 'Boo' range of papers from Digital Scrap Cafe.
