12 Days of Creepmas Day 10 With LOC, Smeared Ink and Delicious Darkness

Welcome to the 12 Days of Creepmas! This is a blog hop run by the girls at Smeared Ink and you will find the Blog Roll on my side bar for the duration of the hop. If you have just arrived at me and want to see what it's all about visit Terra (the hostess) at More Smeared Ink and follow the rules to be in with a chance to win! If you are hopping, you should have arrived here from Black Dragon  and Teresa is your next stop!

We have a bumper challenge for you starting today at Left Of Center! To give the girls some time off, we are running this one over two full weeks starting now and we have two sponsors for you!

First up we are paying homage to Delicious Doodles who will be closing their shop doors for the last time on December 31st and we wish Teri all the very best for the future. I have used the Evil Snowman image to create my card. The dp is very old Craftwork Cards, the corner is a memory box die and I've used a sentiment from Create with TLC to finish.

I will enter this card in the Final Hurrah Challenge at Delicious Darkness.

Our next sponsor is Smeared Ink... and purely by coincidence - some of the fabulously dark themed images from Delicious Doodles and Delicious Darkness will continue to be available on Smeared Ink! So we are celebrating that too!

I have created two cards - variations on a theme - which use the Smeared Ink image 'Watchful Eye'. I have coloured with Promarkers and black pencil. The DP on both cards is from Teresa Collins and I've used another sentiment from Create with TLC. The cards are finished with come candi.

I will enter my Watchful Eye cards in the Challenge #1 at Smudgy Antics.

Thanks for looking and I hope you'll have a fabulous Christmas and join in our challenge!

Today is also the start of a new challenge at Crafting By Designs - one that I think a lot of the 31DOH bloggers/hoppers will enjoy! The theme is 'Boo, You Scare Me!' and our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamps. I have used a fabulous pre-coloured 'Demon' image by Ike's Art from the Stitchy store.

I have used DP from Delicious Doodles and some Martha Stewart web vellum. The top border is the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Punch. The Sentiment is from Create with TLC. And I have finished the card with some rolled roses and a spider all cut from files at the Silhouette Store.

Take A Step in the Dark!

It's Wednesday, it's September, it's nearly Halloween!!! It's time for another challenge at A Step in the Dark. This fortnight, our sponsor is Delicious Doodles - or Delicious Darkness if you prefer! I have used the 'Angel of Death' image to create a 'Chunky Page'. This is a 4x4 inch work of creativity - I punch to top left corner and have them on a binder ring like a little book.

I have used Promarkers to colour parts of the image and Glossy Accents on the black eye. The image is mounted on purple and black pearlescent papers. The web dye is Cheery Lyn and the gravestones are from Tim Holtz on the edge die. I've finished by edging the whole thing with Black Stickles.

Fairy Challenge at Left of Center and news!!!

We have some fabulous news for you all over at the Left of Center Challenge Blog! As of the new challenge starting today - we are going weekly!!! Yes, that's right, there will be a brand new challenge every Friday starting from today. This means you only have 7 days to get your 'Fairies' creation ready for today's challenge.

We are sponsored by Delicious Doodles and I have used the 'Steampunk Fairy' image for my card today. I have coloured her with pencils rather than my usual Promarkers just for a change. She is mounted on a Spellbinders Floral Oval with some platinum gilding wax around the embossed edges.

I have used papers from the Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells paper pads and lots of black pearlescent paper for layering. The card is finished with some black lace and card candi.

I will enter this in the current challenge at Delicious Doodles - Anything Goes with a DD image!

Thanks for looking!

666 The Number of the Beast!

My hubby is a huge Iron Maiden fan and when I saw the name of the latest challenge at Haunted Design House I knew I had to play along. But it went further down my 'to do' list as the week went on and with only a few hours to spare, here's my card for the challenge!

I have used the Beastly Paper Pack from Delicious Doodles and the Rick St Dennis image 'Amulet'. The main image is coloured using Promarkers with extra detailed added using my WH Smith blendable pencils. The image is fussy cut and mounted on black pearlescent paper. The sentiments are printed from Word and inked with Fired Brick and Black Soot.

I printed out the rams head background paper and sections from the two other papers in the pack. On the background I used my Promarkers and blew on the thick end of the pen to create a splattered effect in various colours. I've done the same on the 666 spirals. The rams head in the corner, sentiments and '666'paper behind the main sentiment have been tinted/edged with Fired Brick and Black Soot DI too. I've added some black web ribbon to finish.

The more I look at the card photo here - I wish I'd cut down the '666' sentiment a bit smaller but I didn't want to lose the font! And it's too dark here now to take another photo!

I will enter this in the following challenges:
Haunted Design House - 666 The Number of the Beasts
613 Avenue Create - #78 Anything Goes
Ditzie Digi Designs - Anything Goes
Lacy Sunshine - #36 Anything Goes
The Corrosive Challenge - #202 Colour me Happy (I love my Promarkers!!)

Skully Tag!!

Ok, so another quick post from me today, it's Thursday and there's only a few hours left to join in the Delicious Doodles challenge for this week - 'On the Dark Side' and I have had this tag sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks now... It was supposed to have been posted already for a tag swap... it will be in the mail first thing in the morning! Ooops!

So I have used a Kraft Tag from Craftwork Cards, embossed it with a skull and bones folder and tinted it with Fired Brick and Black Soot Distress Inks. The 'Pile o Bones' image is from Delicious Doodles and I haven't added anything to it, just stuck it down and cut it to fit. The other image is a Zombie Pirate also from Delicious Doodles and I have highlighted his bandana and necktie with red Promakers. He's been mounted onto black pearlescent paper and attached with 3d foam to make him pop.... well, as much as a dead zombie pirate can pop! The tag is finished with red and black organza ribbons and black sticky pearls.

I will enter this tag in the following challenges:
Delicious Doodles - On the Dark Side
Haunted Design House - Ripped to Ribbons
Crafty Catz - Embossing

Things With Wings at PunkyouGirl

We have a fabulous challenge going on at PunkyouGirl this month! 'Things With Wings' is the theme and Delicious Doodles/Delicious Darkness are the sponsors!

I have used Teri's amazing 'Ivy Fairy' image, there's fabulous detail and shading on here so I didn't add too much colour. I've added Ice Greys to the wings, lilac and lavendar to her hair, blush and some darker tones for the skin and some fabulous greens for the foliage - all in Promarkers. I've distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and added Black Soot DI around the edges. The layered papers are from the most recent Do Crafts Gorjuss release - both the 8x8 papers and A4 die cut pack. The flourishes are Cheery Lynn and I've finished with tiny gems.

I am entering this card in the following challenges -
Delicious Doodles - #88 A Bit Moody
Craftitude - #65 That's Die-licious (Use a Die - Cheery Lyn Fanciful Flourish)
Crafts 4 Eternity - To Die For
QKR Stampede - #88 Punch or Die
