Anything Goes for December at Crafting by Designs

Welcome to our Anything Goes challenge at Crafting by Designs. This month, being December, we'd like to see your Christmas creations.

 I have used the Holly Sprite image from Aurora Wings and coloured her with Promarkers. My DP is from Craftwork Cards Mistletoe paper pad with matching sentiment. The poinsettia is also from Craftwork Cards. I've used red vellum for layering and finished with card candi corners.

Thanks for looking!

Left of Center Challenge #44 Tag it!

Aurora Wings are our fabulous sponsor this week at Left of Center and our theme is 'Tag it'! We would love for you to make a tag this week - you can, as always, go LOC but we'd love to see your Dark Side tags too!
I have used the Holly Sprite... if you remember my post a couple of days ago, this is a variation on a theme! I made a card earlier in the week, so today I've used the same paper scraps from My Mind's Eye to make a matching tag. I covered a Kraft tag from Craftwork Cards with red pearlescent paper and the MME scraps. I mounted the sprite and added red raffia and a Craftwork Cards sentiment to finish.

Anything Goes in September is our newest monthly challenge over at Crafting By Designs - remember we have weekly challenges too - and our sponsors for this month are Aurora Wings, Beccy's Place and Robyn's Fetish.
I have used the Holly Sprite from Aurora Wings and coloured it with Promarkers - I added some irridescent Wink of Stella to the berries, holly and fur on the image too. The papers are from My Mind's Eye and I've finished with some card candi and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Of course, we love your LOC creations too so dont forget you can do that! We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Aurora Wings and I have used the 'Holly Sprite' image and thought I'd make a start on Christmas!!!

The papers are Teresa Collins with some red and green pearlescent card. The dies used are the Spellbinders Floral Oval and a Create Too oval die. The card is finished with pearlescent white candi - coated with more Star Dust Stickles!

Some Dark news....

I have joined the design team at A Step in the Dark!!! I have been enjoying playing along with the challenges and this dark themed blog is full of some of my most favourite card designers and artists and I just knew I wanted to do more than play along!

So, here I am posting my first card for the new challenge starting today - Anything Goes/Dark Fantasy. Now I was late to the party so I've used an image from my own files for this card - hop on over to the Challenge blog to see what the rest of the team have created!!

The sponsor this fortnight is Aurora Wings and we want to see your Dark Fantasy or Dark themed Anything Goes creations! I have used the Anti-Valentine girl and coloured her with Promarkers. I have used a background paper from Pebbles 'Thirty-One' paper pad and some black and red card. The ribbon is from my stash and the swirl is a Memory Box die. I have used my MS Drippy Goo punch along the bottom of the card and hand written the sentiment!

I will enter this in the following challenges:
