LOL don't you just love this Dude Time Doodles image "Fanny She Devil"?? I've made this gate fold card for a few challenges. Firstly I'm entering her at the Smudgy Antics "Pretty Creepy" Challenge as although she's decked out in pink she is rather scary looking with those fangs & horns!!! She also fits in at the Macabre Monday's "Eerie Elegance" Challenge - she still looks "classy" with her robe & earrings but she is a bit eerie as well!! And Forever Night is running an Anything Goes Challenge so Fanny will join over there too!!
I'm also linking up to Pink Saturday this week as I haven't made a pink creation for awhile and love to join in with the fun & inspiration at Beverly's Blog!

I've Been Framed in Metal Mania!
January 13th 2012
I've made this card for 2 challenges this week - one is the Forever Night Challenge - "Framed" and the second is for the Haunted Design House - Macabre Monday "Metal Mania" Challenge. I've used a great designs from the CS Designs "Solitaire" range of digis - Steampunk Solitaire.
Because this Steampunk designs is "Framed" I thought it was perfect for the Forever Night "I've Been Framed" Challenge and because the Macabre Monday had a "metal" theme I used metallic silver card, embossed alfoil (embossed with a Cuttlebug "clockworks" folder), silver brads and some little metal tool charms to finish it off. I used a "steampunk" font to print the quote.

Dementia!
November 3rd 2011
Here's a new card made for the current Forever Night Challenge - "Flowers". I've used this amazing new design from Chris at CS Designs "Dementia" - perfect for the Forever Night theme. The sentiment is also from CS Designs.
I decided I wanted to use white plus nice bright colours so I've coloured her with bright coloured Copic Markers and added bright coloured backing card, butterfly punchies, matching coloured skeleton leaves and a nice white flower with purple brad in the centre.

Poison!!
October 4th 2011
Well it's certainly Halloween month judging by all the great creations and challenges around this month!! Here in Australia we really don't celebrate Halloween so I don't really create a lot of scary things LOL!!! But this year I really feel enthused about Halloween and am loving all the wonderful things I am seeing out there in blogland!!!
So of course our new theme for this fortnight at Art With No Boundaries is Halloween!! There is no excuse for not joining us this week as I'm sure most of you will have some sort of Halloween creation to share with us and I know I can't wait to see what you all make!!
Chris at CS Designs has an amazing range of "New Release" digital designs available for this Halloween Season so make sure you check them out - you will love them - I do!! I've used several new designs for my card including a fantastic "Poison" Sentiment and Bottle as well as the most amazing new design "Haunting Apparition - Belladonna".
I've printed all the designs on some card I decorated myself with acrylic paint and I've mounted them on purple & black card. I've added some little eyelets to the poison bottles and sentiment and used a Tim Holtz "chain" to link them together along with a great little skull charm I purchased recently.
I'm also adding this card to the new Forever Night Challenge Blog for their "Anything Goes" theme!

Too Cute to Spook!
August 29th 2011
I've made this cute little card for several challenges.
One is the new challenge at the Forever Night Blog which has a theme this week of "Too Cute To Spook" hence I've used a cute little "witch" boy from a collage sheet from Lisa's Altered Art. And the patterned papers are from a BasicGrey 6 x 6 Pad Titled "Pyrus".
I've used the latest sketch to layout my card from The Sweetest Thing Challenge Blog and I chose the "Pyrus" BasicGrey Pad beacuse the colours were like the new Cupcake Inspiration Challenge.
Because we don't really celebrate Hallowe'en in Australia I added a "Magical Birthday" stamp sentiment.

Creepy Crawly Nefertari
August 15th 2011
The new "Freaky Friday Challenge" at the Forever Night Blog is a "Creepy & Crawly Mini Dark Art Challenge"!!!
I've made thisATC using Nefertari from the Solitaire Range at CS Designs - my favourite range of digis by Chris at the moment!
Firstly I printed the wording "creepy crawly" onto the cream batik paper then I printed Nefertari onto the paper and then I printed the little beetles crawling over!! I've highlighted parts of the image with gold, red and aqua Smooch and have attached the word "shrine" and a little piece of muslin to the bottom.
I love Egyptian style/theme designs and loved making this!!

Good vs Bad
August 11th 2011
This new card has been made using the new sketch from the Easy Craft Projects Challenge Blog and I've made it to fit the new theme of the Forever Night Challenge Freaky Friday theme show your good or evil side - LOL this shows both!!!
As you can see I have mirrored this great "Arty Expression" design from CS Designs and have printed the "good" on light cardstock and added some "pink" eyeshadow and printed the "bad" on darker cardstock and added "red" eyeshadow. In other words "light = good & dark = bad" - I'm getting very deep with my reasoning behind this card!!!!
I found this quote at the Quote Garden which matched my "theme" perfectly!

Age is a Prison.....
August 7th 2011
Well back to the "dark side" again today LOL!!! Of course you will see a bit of humour on this card as well because I just can't resist!!!
This great "ghoulish" woman is from a Gothic collage sheet from June at Dezinaworld - don't you just love it and the others on the sheet are just as scary and I can't wait to make some cards with them too! Of course I would need to find the "right" person to give this birthday card to so as not to offend LOL!!!
The "cell" background is also from Dezinaworld and fits perfectly with the "quote" I found at the Quote Garden Site. Plus as you can see I added the bit about having a great birthday! The font I used is called "Chiller" just to keep with this horror theme.
I have also added some gold photo corners, tea dyed muslin fabric, a paper flower, red brad and skeleton leaf and a little red flower stick pin to add some dimension to the card.
This card has a perfect "ghoulish FACE" for the new theme at Take a Word this week!! Personally she may need some sort of a "Face Lift" LOL!!!
This card is also entered at the new Forever Night Challenge this week which has a theme of Good and Evil Anything Goes and you have to create your good or evil side - and I think I created my evil but quirky side!!
Hope you get a bit of a laugh from this - I did!

Out! Out, Damn Spot!
July 28th 2011
What a great new theme at the Haunted Design House Blog for their Macabre Monday Challenge!!! This is my first time entering their challenge and here is my "reptilian" looking "blood spotted" card LOL!!!
Don't you love the textured reptile skin green background paper and black paper??? I've had this for a long long time so it was great to pull it out and achieve this effect with it! I've smeared red paint with my fingers on the background paper and dripped the paint on the black card and the flower!
This great image is Solitaire Swirl and Monocle from CS Designs - the Solitaire range of digis are amongst my very favourites from Chris! She's been coloured with Copic Markers in greys and reds to give a dark and ghoulish look.
The embellishments are some skeleton leaves in red and black and a paper flower with brad, some black lace trimming and a little red butterfly just so she doesn't look too frightening!!!
The new Forever Night Blog still have their "Welcome" challenge running so she is entered there as well.

Somewhere Between Chance & Mystery....

The Summer of Colour this week is RED (LOL I'm a bit early posting!!) and I've used red as a "feature" on this card so thought it would fit in with this wonderful colour challenge blog! LOL I used my fingers to "drag" the red paint down this card obviously to make it look like bloody hand prints!!!
There is also a new challenge blog starting up: Forever Night Challenges which is going to focus on the "darker" side of crafting including gothic, steam punk, emo, punk that sort of edgy dark art!! Now this is an area I really haven't gotten into although I've done some steam punk items and loved it and have just recently started colouring in darker more striking colours and trying to make images look more macabre!!!
![]()
So the first challenge is an Anything Goes Theme with this "genre" in mind . I've used a CS Designs image from the "Solitaire / Behind the Mask Series - PERFECT images for this type of challenge!!!! I've used the Solitaire Mysterious Butterfly image - now if you look at the picture below which is from Chris' Shop you will see how totally different this image looks when coloured more traditionally compared to the dark greys and blood reds I've used for this card. Just goes to show how versatile these designs can be!!!

The sentiment I have used is also from the CS Designs range of digis and is a perfect match for this "masked" image! The cute little cat is just a Clipart picture I found and thought was a "cute" little addition to this "dark" card!
