DICC #18 & Day 15 of 31 Days of Halloween

Hello fellow Crafters (interpret how you like!). I have only 1 project for you today! Such a slacker, I know! ;) Today is the newest Desert Islands Crafters Challenge, and I am combining it with my latest 31 Days project. If you were here yesterday, you saw that I had previewed 2 more cards with the new Teen Scene Christmas collection from Simply Betty Stamps. But I was missing one. Christian (as Jack Skellington) on his own. Well, he worked perfectly for the new DICC challenge, so I decided to save him for today. Here’s this run’s itinerary.

The Itinerary

1 Halloween

2 SBS Image

3 Favourite Colour

4 Found Object

5 Candy colours

6 Not Square

7 Stripes

8 Shades of Grey

9 Bats & Spiders

10 The UnDead

I managed to use #’s 1, 2, 3, (purple), 6, 7, 9 (spiders), and 10.

I loved the part in Nightmare Before Christmas when Jack is trying to cut out snowflakes and he makes a spider instead! Poor Jack! And can I just say, that I am SO happy that Zero has made an appearance, as he is by far one of my favorite characters in the flick!

I used my markers for this. I’m not sure if you noticed, but I also used the latest Deconstructed Sketch for my layout. Jen’s sketches are always so inspiring!

The “Doh!” is from SBS’ Zombie Teen phrases. I thought it was really funny here.

And now, I bid you adieu. It’s time for you to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers and the DICC gals. All are listed in my side bar. I’m off to make some more pendants! ;) Thanks for stopping by. Have an 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...
