Here comes the bride!

...of Frankenstein.  This is my DT piece for the latest challenge at Left of Center, sponsored by Sassy Studios, and the theme is - ribbon and/or flowers. 

I've gone more left of centre - which is defined as anything gothic, horror, steampunk, manga etc  - rather than sticking to the theme this time, although there is a bit of braid at the top of the tag.  It doesn't really show in the photo, but I did a bit of decoupage on the digi of the Bride (who is very sassy indeed!).  Otherwise, this is a very straightforward tag, with a bit of colouring-in and sticking onto a tag, as my Mojo has apparently gone on holiday without me this week. 

We'd love to see what you can do with the challenge at LOC.  There's a prize from our sponsor up for grabs - why not hop over to the challenge blog  and share your project with us?  See you there!

What's in the box?

Hi blog friends!  Thank you for visiting.  It's challenge time over at Left of Center once again, and this time we're celebrating Christmas with Sassy Studios.  I've used "All Wrapped Up" on the front of this pillow box.

I printed and cut the box with my Cameo.  The print and cut feature works so well, it's just like magic!  A bit of ribbon to finish and there you have a cute little gift box.  However, I like to use digis for more than cards and papercrafts every now and then, so inside the box...

Two little bars of soap. I coloured the digi in Photoshop and printed them out onto inkjet waterslide transfer paper (it needs a few coats of acrylic sealer to make it waterproof) and applied the transfers to the little cakes of soap (I had some melt and pour soap base lying around, as you do).  I also printed some tissue paper to customise the gift further, and there it is - simples!

So how about joining in with the fun at LOC?  We've got a DT call going at the moment as well so we'd love to see your creations and perhaps have you join us!

Crafty Hugs,

Dare to be Remarkable!

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s the start of a new challenge over at Left Of Center and this time we are sponsored by Sassy Studios.  Sassy is the perfect word to describe their digistamps – those girls have got some attitude!  The theme is “Girly” and I’ve chosen Sassy Ursula for my card.

 

You remember Ursula the Sea Witch from Disney’s Little Mermaid?  This is Ursula in her prime, all glamorous and ready to raise havoc – those tentacles are going to be in everyone’s business.  I enjoyed colouring her in with Spectrum Noirs; I used the Blue-Greys for her dress and Cool Greys for her tentacles.  For the skin tones I moved over to the Promarker cool greys.  The colouring process was very therapeutic – I got lost in my own little world...

I cut her out and mounted her onto a piece of marbled paper from a pad that Joanna Sheen used to produce some time ago – I thought it looked a bit “under the sea” – which I bordered in some textured gold foil card.  I used the same card, die-cut into a spiky circle with a Nestabilities die, to mount the sentiment – also die-cut into a circle with just a touch of Weathered Wood DI blended over the edge. 

So that’s my contribution for this challenge.  Why not hop over to Left Of Center and see what my DT colleagues have made?  Better yet, why not join in the fun and enter the challenge?  I’d love to see what you come up with!
