New Day, New Challenge!

Welcome to a new challenge @
Crafting When We Can

Challenge #82 - Use your markers.

This week we are sponsored by 'Sassy Studio Designs'

I chose the image Dark Fairy Sassy, & this is what I did with her, my idea was to make her a frosty fairy

I used my Spectrum Noir markers IB1, IB2 & IB3

I have a lovely poem from Hunkydory's little book of festive poetry called 'Starry Night'

I used serif's craft artist to make a starry night background & snowy inserts

I added my frosty fairy to my finished card.

New Crafters Cafe Challenge!

It's challenge time at 

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog

the theme for this challenge is 'Thank You'

we are sponsored this week by

Dr Digi's House of Stamps & Creative Bug Digital Stamps

 I chose an image from Dr Digi called 'Dunderton Decorators Ltd.'

This is how I decorated him!

I used the following Spectrum Noirs:

FS1,FS5, FS6

IG1, IG2, IG4, IG5, IG6

IB1, IB2, IB3

CR6, CR7, CR9, CR11, DR5

GB3, GB7

TN3, TN5

I chose two sentiments as I couldn't make up my mind between them so decided to use both, the first 'Thank You in appreciation of you, and all that you do', and the second which I made into the hanging sign 'Thank you is the least I can say to you to show my appreciation for everything you have done for me, Thank You.'

Now as this is a man's card I couldn't really decorate it with lace & flowers so I downloaded some 'tools of the trade' clip art and use glossy accents to strengthen them.

I put the card together after making a centre-stepper with textured linen card stock.

I've entered this card into the following challenges:

Crafting When We Can Challenge #81

Theme - Black & White

For this challenge our sponsor is 'Lacy Sunshine' & I chose the image

'Cemetarie and Bunny'

I coloured her using IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4 Spectrum Noir's, 

then matted and layered her onto black then silver card.

I made some paper roses & raided my stash for some scary ghosts, bat & skull, added the touch of a red bow and some red gems.

I made a centre-step card with white linen textured card stock.

I've got 'Creative Fingers' !!!!!!

I'm a new Design Team member at

Creative Fingers !

Eye-Scream !!!!!!

Welcome to a brand new challenge
with 

'The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog'

Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles & I chose the image 'Eye Scream'

& this is what I did with it:

I used the following Spectrum Noir pens:

Cup - BGR1, BGR2, BGR3

Fingers - BG1, BG2, BG4

Tendrils - LG1, LG3

Bone - EB1, EB2, BG6

Blood - CR8, CR9, CR11, DR6

Eyes - TN2, FS1, LG1, LG3

I used a silver gelly roll on the web, but the photo doesn't pick it up.

I added ribbon, flowers, ghost, bat & papers from my stash. I enjoyed making this card as the image isn't something I would usually go for, but I think it worked out well & I'm really happy with the end result.
