GDT Gig for A Step in the Dark with Aurora Wings.

WooHoo!  I'm thrilled to be guesting for a time for A Step in the Dark and this fortnight's Challenge is ATG (Dark) or Dark Fantasy, sponsored by Aurora Wings.  ASITD is a new dark crafting blog and I hope you come and join the group.  I've chosen the fabulous AW Santa Muerte for my project and made a wall hanging in traditional Dia de los Muertos colors.

This gorgeous image comes as I've colored her with Copics here and also without the background HERE.  Isn't she beautiful? (and trust me, not nearly as intimidating to color as she looks.)

The perfect DP is from K&Co and I've added some fun embellies.  In the bottom right corner I've used a Tim Holtz tombstone die cut, some Recollections roses that I've recolored with Copics and a fab spiderweb (and skullie) charm.

On the left I finally managed a hand made rose using the Tim Hotz pinecone die, enhanced with some Stickles.  I'll be making more of those for sure,now that I've finally got the hang of it.  Also some lovely Drippy Goo (MS punch) in red foil CS to match the foil flowers in the DP.

 Finally, I've made a triple looped bow with my Bow (un)Easy and added a gorgeous dripping butterfly die cut from Cheery Lynn that I originally saw on ASITD DT sister Teresa's Blog.  Thanks so much, Teresa!  (See, I told you you want to check this place out)  I've grunged up a skullie charm to add to the butterfly and finally, the sentiment is from Tim Hotz.  Be sure to vist ASITD to see the fabulous makes from the DT and some play along for a chance to win a $15 GC from the amazing Aurora Wings.

I made sure I used plenty of metal to enter the current Use Metal Challenge at LOC. 

I'm also entering this in the Corrosive Challenge Color Me Happy Challenge used Copics), the ABC Challenge "O" is for Orange, Craft Your Passion Ribbons, Paper Make Up Stamps Digi Makeover Butterflies Challenge, and 613 Avenue Create ATG/no Option.

Dandelion Freebie from Aurora Wings

Don't miss all the fun at the Aurora Wings Facebook 1000 Member Celebration.  This new Dandelion Sprite is yours FREE as a thank you from the fabulous Mitzi Sato-Wiuff, artist of the amazing fantasy images.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to combine it with this Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I printed the image first and embossed wth the folder, then printed, colored and fussy cut again to pop over the image since some of the embossing overlapped the image.

Here's a closeup. Could she be any cuter?  She's colored with Copic and I've added Stickles to the puffs and seeds and sprinkled them with white flock so they are sparkly AND fuzzy.

Sentiment is computer generated and popped as well.  Hope you can join in the fun during this fabulous FB event going on NOW HERE.  New releases (be sure to come back here today too for a gorgeous one) as well as contests and prizes.  Hurry, the first one has already started, but the event goes throughout the day and ther will be a 24 hour one so the whole world can join in.  See you there.

 

I'm adding this to the Simon Says Wednesday Spring Flowers Challenge, TTRCD May 6-12 ATG, the Digi Makeover ATG Challenge, TimbroScrapMania Spring is in the Air, and the Cutie Pie April Showers Bring Cute May Flowers Challenge.

Yipes, Stripes! at Dilly Beans

It's Friday again already.  Do you believe it?  Time for a new challenge at Dilly Beans.  This one is easy peasy, STRIPES.  I've used one of the fab new images, #540 Owl Always Love You.  He was so much fun to color.  Love his stripey feathers and tatooed wings.  My color combo came from the fab striped DP from Heidi Grace which looked great on the Kraft card stock.  I printed the image twice so I could fussy cut the eye and pop it.  I added a clear epoxy sticker for some shine.  Then just a few adhesive beads and I was done.  Pop over to the Challenge Blog a bit later for more DT inspiration and come and join us.

I'm also entering this in the DL ART Thankful Thursday Birds Challenge and the Digi Makeover Challenge #77 Stripes Challenge at the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog, Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes and the Addicted to Stamps, Use Craft Challenge.
