I've used papers from a digi pack from Carina Gardner called Haunted bought from Jessica Sprague plus I've added some table confetti bats from my stash. Quite a bit of distressing going on here with this card! I've used a kraft card blank as my base and kept it quite simple.
And next up is Grim Grisham again coloured with Promarkers. All the papers are from my stash and I've added some faux stitching but that is a real bandage!
The papers and mini letters are from Spooky Dookie download from Funky Hand and I've added some bat embellishments (made by me!) and some Sizzix die cut ghosties all with wobbly eyes!
And not forgetting the bandage - cheaper the better and I do get some odd looks when trying to work out if its crepe or cotton weave!
Good luck with the Guest Designer hunt! I'd like to enter my doorhanger in the following challenges:
Send A Smile For Kids: Anything Goes (for kids)
I've added some drippy goo punches which were sent to me by Lis - thank you for coming to my rescue!! To finish off the bookmarks, I've doodled a white line with a gel pen around the edges.
I've used black card from my stash for the layering and the spooky ghosties are Sizzix die cuts which I've inked a little and added wobbly eyes.
The pumpkin has been coloured with Promarkers along with the mummy (he is so cute!) and I've used my Sizzix Round A Bout alphabet die for the letters.
You're going to want this cd when its released - full to the brim with fab papers, digital elements and ideas!
Good luck with the challenge - you have until Sunday 19 September to enter!
The papers are freebie downloads from The Creative Cottage (I really do like this collection but they are only available for a month!) and the gnarled twisted tree is from my stash (Jacob picked it out for my card, which surprised and delighted me at the same time!) The bats are table confetti (and they are metallic purple!) and from my stash.
I've not done much except liberally ink the edges with my faded ink pad and my good one, and then doodled a wobbly line twice in black in and once in white gel pen. The ribbon is from my stash and I've coloured the bubbles with two different shades of green glitter glue. It looks a bit flat but the card is really quite punch in real life - I blame the kitchen lights and for being up at before 5am (the clocks have gone back an hour in the UK) with one of the boys.........
The bats are table confetti from my stash.
Told you it was a quick and simple one this week! You have until 12noon on Sunday 1 November to enter the challenge - good luck!
I covered the card blank with black card and dabbed silver ink around the edges and across the card. I then embossed some torn squares and then inked them before adding to the card. The orange ribbon is from my stash as I thought the card needed a bit of colour.
I used the mummy image from the download, enlarged it and then cut it out and then added the bandages. It's attached to the card with a piece of acetate so it boings around. And in the top corner I've added my last fimo spider!
The outside of the box has been decorated with various die cuts - Sizzix ghosts, Round-a-Bout alphabet set and a Sizzlit tombstone. Edges have been inked in either silver or black ink for a bit more spookiness.
I've attached the ghosts to the box with strips of acetate so they jump out!
The ribbon is from my stash and just the perfect shade of orange too! The little black bats are confetti, and I'm sure I bought it from the pound shop a few years ago. Or probably Tescos in the post Halloween sale!
And inside the box -
I've filled it with spooky pumpkins and ghoulish eyes - a net of each £1 from, yes, the pound shop!! They make the box quite heavy, so I think I'm going to have to eat a few.....!!Good luck with the October challenge and remember to link the actual post of your blog in your comment on Get Funky - this makes it a lot easier for the Design Team to visit you and to leave you a comment. Can't wait to see what you create!
A little bit of inking here and there and some tearing of paper and it all looks more spooky! The fimo spiders are left over from a previous challenge and I think I should make some more for next year!
Hope you're able to join in with this challenge - it's open until Sunday 4 October 12noon - go to the challenge post to enter your creation!
For this tutorial I am colouring Polly Polkadoodle from the Halloween download. I've started with a light and pale layer of colour.
I've now added more definition to Polly's hat by dipping the nib of my pencil into water - I can now spread the colour more easily and also choose which areas I want to leave as highlights.
Other smaller areas are now coloured.
Hope you've enjoyed the tutorials and that you will be able to join in with the challenge this week!
