The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge #6: Sweeny Todd & S&S GDT Challenge: Watercolor

Finally! 6 challenges later and I finally have a moment to play with the fabulous Burtonesque Dolls! For this challenge (inspired by Sweeny Todd), you need to use those distressing tools! Perfect for me because I tend to distress everything!!!

So. Johnny Depp is in Sweeny Todd. He is also in Pirates of the Caribbean. Hence, the inspiration for this card. 

Here’s one of my latest Sweet Pea images, given to me by my lovely friend Danielle. I colored the image in with my beloved Twinkle H20’s and a bit of my colored pencils. Because I used watercolors, I am entering this card also in the Smeared and Smudged Guest DT Watercolor challenge (great challenge, Jennifer!). Here’s a close up.

I love how this turned out. The blending is exactly how I wanted it, and the colors are perfect for the look I was going for. Please click on any of the images to see them bigger. Here’s a closer look at some of my distressing:

I used my Heidi Swapp edge distresser along with sandpaper. Of course I used some distress ink too!

For both of the challenges I am entering this card for, you have the chance of winning fabulous prizes! For Burtonesque Dolls, you could win some ultra-fabulous images from Simply Betty (which I am quickly becoming obsessed with!). And for Smeared & Smudged, you could win an awesome stamp set from Bombshell Stamps! By the way… July is fast approaching… which means it’s almost time for me to be Ms. Bombshell!!!!! So, hurry up and play along with these fab challenges! Or…don’t. So that I have a better chance at winning! ;} Have an inspiring day!!!
