Creative Fingers Glitter challenge

It's time for a new challenge at Creative Fingers and this week we have a fab new sponsor Nikki Brunette, I have been admiring her work on Etsy here and was delighted to get an image to play with, here's my card

I wanted to try some different colours for a sea/mermaid picture so I went for pink, purple and black.  My gorgeous image is coloured with WH Smith coloured pencils, my backing paper is Prima and my die cuts are Marianne, some gems from my stash to finish.  I've kept it quite simple as I loved the image so much and it took me so long to colour!  Our theme this week is glitter and I have glittered her tail, hair and flowers but you can hardly see it from my photo lol!

Punkyougirl Fairy Tales Gone Bad mid challenge reminder

I have some very exciting news I have joined the Design Team of the Punkyougirl challenge blog!  I am a huge fan of this darkly delicious blog and am honoured to join the team.  I am so excited to work with the talented and lovely ladies on the team and can't wait to explore my dark side!

We are midway through a challenge and the theme is Fairy Tales Gone Bad. Here's my card

My licence ML4776-Esperitecrafting

My digi stamp is from an amazing artist I discovered on Etsy and here is the link to her shop Fantasy Art of Maigan Lynn I couldn't resist ordering a few digis along with this one as I just love her style!

I coloured it with artist colouring pencils all except the black between the trees which I did with a promarker as I couldn't get it as dark as I wanted with a pencil! My dies are sizzix and my backing paper is Prima, ribbons and lace from my stash and black cosmic shimmer dots to finish.

There is something quite sinister in the image that I love, it makes me wonder why are red riding hood and the wolf together? And where is Grandma! To add to the creepiness I added a touch of blood to the wolves lips and the axe in the background.

I can't wait to see all the entries in our Fairy Tales Gone Bad challenge, we are a dark themed challenge so we are looking for projects that follow the theme and have a dark edge e.g. horror gothic etc

Through the Purple Haze Digital Elements challenge

What a treat we have in store for you this week at Through the Purple Haze, we have two fabulous sponsors - Milk Coffee and Craftsuprint.

That meant I got to make two creation this week!

My first card is using a fab digi from Milk Coffee, I just can't resist a fairy digi!

My gorgeous fairy is coloured with pencils, yes my obsession is still burning strong!  My background paper is from Making Cards magazine as is my love sentiment.  My die cuts are My Craft Studio and some washi tape and gems from my stash to finish.

Next a more vintage feel from Craftsuprint

My main image is from a decoupage set from Craftsuprint but I chose not to decoupage it as I wanted it more like a vintage postcard.  My background paper is prima and my doilie is papermania, vintage buttons from my stash and die cuts from Memory box. I thought the sentiment fitted as she looks so happy doing the most dreaded of tasks, cleaning up!

This decoupage sheet along with many others is available free to download here

Please have a look at Through the Purple Haze challenge blog for all the details of this week's challenge.

Creative Fingers use a Brad

When I saw our theme for our challenge this week, use a brad, I remembered that when I started crafting over ten years ago I had a bit of an obsession with brads! I had so many I didn't know what to do with them all so I put them all in a huge jar. I dug that jar out and do you know it's still nearly full!

I had a rummage in it for the brads I was looking for and found them thank goodness.  This week we are sponsored by the wonderful Delicious Doodles, I always love working with Terri's images.  Here's my card

The image is coloured with artists pencils, my background paper is from Making Cards magazine and my wee rosebuds are from my stash and coloured black with a Promarker.

I can't wait to see your creations using brads, please pop along to the blog for all the details of the challenge.

Through the Purple Haze Use a Digi

I absolutely loved seeing all your pencil coloured projects in our last challenge, I have been totally inspired and am using my coloured pencils again this week!

We have a nice easy theme this week, use a digi.  We are sponsored by the utterly fab Kenny K, I loved my image so much I made 2 projects!

My first brown/green tag uses backing paper from Making cards magazine, my die cut is My Craft Studio and my ribbon and Cameo are from the Works. I was hoping for a vintage feel, here's a close up

I went a bit brighter for the other one using Hunkydory papers and sentiment and ribbon and resin flowers from my stash.

Please pop along to the blog for all the details of the challenge and for some lively inspiration from the DT.
