Pixie Dust Studio Challenge - Happy Halloween!

This week over on the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge blog our theme is Happy Halloween...we want to see your halloween creations that us the colours black and orange.

As you can see on my card I have used just a little bit of both the colours.....ok I lied.....I used tons of both....LOL I have used the Frankie Funhouse Fairy image which I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - 100/C3

Clothing - W5/W7/W9/YR04/YR07

The papers are a mixture of Daisy & Dandelion (checkerboard one) and K&Co (orange and web paper). I have layered them with some Bazzill cardstock, used my Martha Stewart zig zag punch, added some ribbon and funky foam pumpkins and a cat, a spider charm and a sentiment by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy Stamps.

Be sure to check out our challenge and take a look at the rest of the DT's wonderful black and orange creations...

Tiddly Inks Challenge - Treat Bags/Boxes...

This week over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog our theme is treat bags/boxes. We want to see your treat bags or boxes...or even a card that features a treat.

For my card I have used the Candy Avenger image which I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Eyes - B21

Hair - E53/E50

Clothing - R37/R46/R59/BV08/V09

Pumpkin - YR07/YR68/E31/E47/R37

The papers are all from a Daisy & Dandelion paper pad that I gpt last year in The Range. The cobweb paper is also by Tiddly Inks, and was a freebie given to members of the PCP group. The sentiment ticket is a digi by Whimsy Stamps created by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs. I created the treat cup using some Tim Holtz packaging, I got some of the film strip acetate ribbon stuff and kept the packaging as it reminded me of an SU treat cup that I had seen in the US catalogue (now available in the UK). I had some halloween eyeball sweets so added that to the cup. I made my own closure system on the inside with a larger circle and a couple of brads. I finished off with a couple of chocolate embellishments and some bats punched with my Martha Stewart punch.

Come on over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and join in the fun.

This week over on the Crafty Angels Weekly Challenge Blog our theme is "Charmed, I'm Sure!". I want to see you use a charm somewhere on your card or project. The charm can either be shop bought or homemade....your choice.

For my card I have used Witch Tilda by Magnolia and also the So Spooky papers by Magnolia layered with some Bazzill and Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock. The ribbon and charm are both from my stash. Finally I used my trusty Martha Stewart punch to punch out the bats.

Anyone for Anya? - Sketch #3

This week over on the Anyone for Anya? Challenge Blog, Dawny has provided us with a fabby sketch. We are also sponsored this week by De Hobbykamer. For my card I used the cute little Halloween set. I coloured all the images with my Copics, and created the background using a CC Designs stamp from the Autumn Kit, and used Midnight Black & Night Sky VersaMagic chalk ink pads rubbed over the cardstock. The papers are all by Magnolia and have been layered using Bazzill cardstock and the main imaged is matted onto Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock. Finally all I did was add a sentiment from the same set as the characters and a few glittery bats punched with my Martha Stewart bat punch.

Be sure to come on over and join us HERE. The DT have created some amazing work...

Scrap Online with Marlene

Marlene was hosting the Scrap Online over on Tiets Club this week...unfortunately everything is in Dutch, so Marlene has kindly posted all the details over on her blog....thanks Hun.

So every five minutes we were given another stage to complete...unless you were like me and got behind because you were too busy (I was preparing the post for todays challenge over on Cute Card Thursday...so I think I can be forgiven). In the end I had all the pieces cut and the image coloured and matted...but nothing else, so when I saw Marlene's stunning card....I just copied the sticking by eye and didn't need to measure anymore....LOL. I even added a couple of things like she did...I was such a copy cat.

For my card I used a Magnolia stamp from the "So Spooky" collection which I coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - YG00/YG03/YG06
Hair - C1/C3/C5/C7/C9
Hat - C7/C9/V17
Dress - C7/C9/V17
Boots - C5/C7
Broom - E49/E57
The papers are all by Magnolia, also from the "So Spooky" collection and I have layered them with Bazzill Bling cardstock and also Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock. I have also used one of my Stampin' Up punches, my Martha Stewart "Bat" punch to cut from bats from the sugar coated cardstock and finally I added a touch of black bling to finish the card off. Finally I added a sentiment with some 7Gypsies rubons.

A huge thanks to Marlene for taking the time to prepare the details for us all...and for making such a fabby card for us to copy...Thanks Hun x

Be sure to pop over to Marlene's blog to take a look...This card also qualifies for the theme of "Halloween" over on Papertake Weekly....so I am entering it there too.

Hair - C1/C3/C5/C7/C9

Socks - C1/C3
Skull - C1/C9
The papers are Basic Grey "Eerie" and I have also used some Doodlebug Sugar Coated cardstock and a piece of random red cardstock. The only other embellishments are some spotted ribbon from my stash, some bats that I created from the sugar coated cardstock using my Martha Stewart punch, and a skull that I made using the Magnolia stamp and some shrink plastic. To finish off I added a sentiment using some Doodlebug Halloween stamps, my Stampin' Up oval and scalloped oval punches. Both the main image and the sentiment have also been raised up on 3D foam pads.

Thanks to the ladies over on the Friday Sketchers blog, for their sketch and wonderful inspiration...I always love playing along.
