Delicious Doodles May Challenge April Showers Bring May Flowers and DT Call !!

My dark side is back after going missing for a few months so i am back with a new card for the Delicious Doodles DT. This month the theme is to use Flowers so i did sort of.  You can join us here at http://deliciousdoodleschallenge2.blogspot.co.uk/

Would you like to join our team? We have a DT call on right now so pop over to the blog for the details.

I used the digital papers from the Curiosity Shop Kit by Gecko Galz and then stamped a few ink drops in Fire Brick Red using the Crafters Companion Journal Jotters Stamp Set.

The digi image i used is called The Ram Tattoo Colouring page but it can be re-sized to be used as a topper

I tied a bow in black ribbon and then glued a huge skull charm to it. I am surprised that the card could still stand up. Check out Lellibot crafts for some Gothic charm packs.

I felt compelled to add a spider sequin, I don't know why.

Delicious Doodles Creepmas Special

                                                                Hi all

I am back today with some dark Christmas cards for all those horror fans out there. Also known as Creepmas it's Halloween with extra glitter.

I coloured in the  Creepmas Centrepiece stamp in black and grey before cutting it out. I then used Jet Black acrylic ink to create the black ooze coming out the eye sockets and around the bottom of the card.

I used the Sheena Douglas Splats and stains stamp set which work so well with the darker style of crafting.

The Sentiment is a custom made stamp which i needed t go with my darker Christmas Cards

I used the Evil Snowman stamp for this card 

This one is just a simple card with the stamp as the main topper

                             I hope i haven't freaked you out too much and thank you for visiting

A Step In The Dark November Challenge

     Hi all I am back with a few steam punk cards and  a dark Creepmas card to share with you for my DT makes this month. Our sponsor for November is Delicious Doodles https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ArtiDoodles?ref=search_shop_redirect . You can join our challemge by uploading you photos to the album here https://www.facebook.com/groups/629105100496386/

I started off by colouring the steampunk heart stamp in with First Edition Marker Pens which i then layered over a heart shaped doily. I cut out a strip of paper from the Santoro Willow paper pad and trimmed the edges with Fiskars edging scissors. I stamped the clock onto pale paper using the Time Machine stamp set by Kaisercraft. I used copper embossing powder on the clocks and sentiment and then cut them out and stuck them down.

For my second card i went for rusty metallic colours and used the Time Travel stamp set for the sentiment.

                     My next card is rather dark and gothic.

I used red spritzing ink to create a bloody mess running down the card and embossed the sentiment in Red Tinsel embossing powder.

I added to the dark theme by using black card and red pearl for the snowflakes. I rather like black snowflakes.

I am also entring my Steampunk cards into the Steampunk Challenge here http://sandee-and-amelie.blogspot.co.at/2015/11/our-steampunk-challenge-winter-special.html

Weeping Banshee Card for Forever Dark

Hi all

Something for those who craft on the dark side. I have another project using Teri's La Llorona weeping woman digi stamp from Delicious Doodles. There is a Facebook challenge on until 30th June to enter your dark creations for a chance to win so Delicious Doodles stamps. here is the group link www.facebook.com/groups/377596482275106/ you will be asked to join and once accepted you can upload you project in the photos section of the page.

The paper is a digital fownload from Farfarhill and is free for personal use. I print them out in draft mode to spare the ink.

I used black ink to dye white flowers black and left to dry before spritzing more black ink under the flower cluster. Some of the black ink bled into the red roses creating a grungy look. It was an accident but it looks cool.

Delicious Doodles June Challenge

Hi All

Here is my entry for the Delicious Doodles Challenge.

 I have used the Green Man stamp to create this Pagan themed greeting card. I created the background by applying some texture paste mixed with green ink to a Tim Holtz stencil mask. i then sprayed green-yellow DecoArt mister over the card.

Here is another version of the Celtic Dragon frame from my Forever Dark DT project. i kept the main focus on the stamp itself by keeping the card simple.

Forever Dark June Challenge

Hi everyone

Here is my first project as part of the Forever Dark Challenge team. we have two sponsors this month the first one is Delicious Doodles  Teri has an Etsy shop which sells these beautiful digital stamps. 

you have the chance to win a few for yourselves just by playing a long with our challenge which is Anything goes, as long as its dark,goth,horror,fantasy or steampunk you can link up your projects here http://foreverdark2.blogspot.co.uk/

 The winner can choose 3 digi stamps from the Delicious Doodles shop.

For my Challenge entry i choose the Celtic Dragon Frame stamp. He is easy to colour in because the shading is already part of the stamp. I used the Mirabelle paper pad for the paper layers and splattered it with black DecoArt  misters with a few splashes of green ink.

                               
                                   The sentiment stamp is from www.stampingallday.com
