Aurora Wings First Blog challenge EVER!

WooHoo!  Today is the day we've all been waiting for.  It's the inaugural challenge on The Aurora Wings Challenge Blog and we're so excited to announce that the theme is  ANYTHING GOES!

Hope you joined the party on the Facebook Page as well, which will continue for 3 hours.  There are prizes to be had. WooHoo! Just ask to join if you haven't already.  And for our Blog Followers, Mitzi has provided a Freebie image and coupon code.  Just check out the Offers Tab on the Challenge Blog.

I've chosen images of my favorite flower, the hydrangea for my very first project, a wall hanging, cut on my Grand Caliber using Grand Labels Four and some fancy corners from Heartfelt Creations.

The main image is the beautiful Hydrangea Fairy.  Isn't she just gorgeous?  She's colored with Copics with some of the petals fussy cut and popped for dimension.  The lace caps were detailed with Liquid Pearls as well as flat backed adhesive ones.

But I couldn't resist adding the adorable Whimsical Hydrangea Sprite.  Don't they look cute together?  He's also colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped with sparkly Stickled wings.

So here's the dimensional shot.  Head on you couldn't really see the layers.  Have to say I LOVE how it came out.  I'm sure you're all excited to see the rest of the fabulous inspiration from my DT Sisters as well as the winner of the Coloring Book Giveaway so hop on over to the Challenge Blog and see.  Can't wait to see what you come up with as well.  The prizes are spectacular and the challenge runs through April 26th.

Oh, and BTW, Mitzi does some fabulously dark images as well,  Please scroll down to see my DT project for Haunted Design House this week.  EEEK!!!  Busy Monday! 

I'm also entering this in the 613 Avenue Creat ATG/ with optional 2D or 3D Flowers, Simon Says Wednesday Mother's Day or Special Girl challenge, Digi Galore ATG, Natalie and Amy's Flowers Challenge, the Outlawz Friday Alcohol Markers Fantasy/Fairies Challenge, the CMC Copic Challenge Group Show Some Skin, and the very first Oddball Art Stamps challenge Use a Digi.

Macabre Monday Let's Play a Game Week 2

It's the second week of our Let's Play a Game Challenge for Macabre Monday at HDH and I think the reference to the "Saw" movie franchise is scaring people off.  Yes, JigSaw has taken the helm, but we encourage any projects that reference games or game pieces so here ya go.  My wall hanging uses the fab image from Aurora Wings called Window To Your Soul (Dark Version, duh!).  Wonder why I don't have kids?  LOL

 I've colored her with Copics in sepia tones.  Sorry that my printer was being a bit wonky, hence the sort of double image, but I'd say it sort of adds to the creepiness.  There is a sweet version of the same image HERE (minus the eyeballs) in case creepy doesn't float you boat.  Fortunately the kitty is adorable in both versions. 

 I had a lovely time referencing more toys, games and game pieces including a bloody domino and some very unholy bingo numbers.

 

Looks like she hasn't been to nice to her dolly, either.  The cards are unlucky and the Scrabble letters that spell out the sentiment are splattered with blood using the Inky Dreams rubber set by Smeared Ink.  No wonder the poor dear doesn't have any friends.  So now do you get the picture?  We're counting on you to come play with us at Haunted Design House.  We might even let you win.

 

And BTW, later today (at noon EDT) the first Blog Challenge at Aurora Wings goes live.  In the meantime, there is a fab kickoff event  starting at 9:00am EDT going on in the FB Group where you can win loads of fab stuff.  Hope to see you all there.

 

I'm also adding this to the Left of Center 1st Anniversary Challenge, the CMC Copic Marker Show Some Skin Challenge and the Simon Says Monday Lucky Challenge (guess this one's UNlucky).
