Monochrome at Left of Center

Welcome to my DT inspiration post for Left of Center! We have a new challenge starting today and the theme is 'Monochrome'. Our fabulous sponsor this week is 'Just Some Lines' and I had a lot of fun playing with this image entitled 'The Eater'.

I have coloured her with promarkers and used papers from Echo Park's Chillingsworth Manor 6x6 pad. I have used a Tim Holtz distress tool to rough up the edges of the papers and finished the card with green metallic sticky dots and ribbon. I will add a sentiment later when this has a recipient!

I will enter this in the following challenges:
Fairytale Challenge - #96 DigiStamp super challenge
Sister Act Card Challenge - #66 Anything Goes
Crafty Girls Challenge - #22 Anything Goes 
Charisma Cardz Challenge - #15 Anything Goes  

Thanks for looking!

A couple of challenges!

Just a quick post from me with a couple of makes for some challenges!
Firstly I have finally gotten around to using the amazing 'Quoth the Raven' Rubber Stamp set from Smeared Ink! This was a prize that I won a few months back and I have used it to make a couple of ATCs. These are for a swap at the Smudged and Smeared forum and I will be using the theme 'A bunch of Poesies' from the current Quoth The Raven Challenge blog and I will be entering the challenge there.

I have used papers from Echo Park's Apothecary Emporium with ravens on candlesticks! The writing down the right side of the atc is a quote from 'The Raven' stamped in black Archival and clear embossed. The 'Quoth the Raven, Nevermore' was stamped with Versamark onto black pearlescent paper and heat embossed using white detail powder. The flowers are from my stash and the edges inked with Black Soot.


My next project is a Tag! This is for the current Ike's World Challenge theme 'Monochrome'. It's also for a tag swap at the Ike's Art Facebook group and will be winging it's way to Dubai just shortly!

I have used the 'Alice' image from Ike's Art and coloured her with promarkers and lavender Stickles. I have used purple pearlescent paper and lilac card - the card is embossed with the Darice 'Tea Party' embossing folder. The flowers are from Sweet Lilac and have been sprayed with purple Dylusions ink spray to match the monochrome look. The lace edges are from an xcut Lace border punch.
