Alison the Witch: Day 8 of 31 Days of Halloween

A few months ago, I was extremely lucky, as I won the opportunity to inspire a custom digi for Christy Croll of Tiddly Inks to create. After a lot of thinking, I knew she had to look like some of the  Gothic girls that she already has…as I adore them. And I wanted her to be a witch. But she needed a familiar…and a very cool dress…so after collaborating, and Christy’s ability to envision what I was seeing in my head, she created Alison the Witch. You may have seen her before.. I have had her on my blog of course, and after that initial showing here…many folks needed to have her as their own (blushing with pride). She’s perfect. I love her. Here’s my latest creation with her…

Pink-Alison-1

Isn’t she awesome??? Like the layout? It’s the newest Deconstructed Sketch. I like it a lot. Plus, over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog, this week, you are to use paint on your creation. The pink around the edge of the card, and the dark teal on my teal triangle is done with acrylic paint.

Pink-Alison-2

I colored Alison in with…wait for it…my…PENCILS!!! Ooh, it felt SO good to work with them again! I love my markers…but I can’t get enough of my pencils. And they have been so neglected lately. Please click on this (or any other) pic for a closer look. My husband really loves how she came out. He kept telling me…which makes me feel thrilled!

Pink-Alison-3

The color’s a little off here…but you get the idea in the other 2 photos. Now, wouldn’t you like to have Alison the Witch in your own digi collection??? You can buy her HERE.  Hmmm…her familiar kinda looks like Alex’s Edgar huh? ;)

It’s time for you to keep on hopping! Be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers. They are all posted on my sidebar. I hope you like my Day 8 project. Thank you for stopping by. Have a spook-tacular day!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
