Brewing up some Trouble

Look who's back again!!

I was invited to be a guest designer for 

Oddball Art Stamps 

Creepy Cute Chronicles new image release today.

I have to admit that signing up for the
Creepy Cute Chronicles Exclusive membership was the best

$15 I have ever spent. Well worth the price of admission, folks!

If you haven't heard of it, you really must check out the details here.

The weekly chronicles freebie this week is this fabulous Mer-Witch.

She is quite the stunner!!  

I had to color her up with Copics, as its my chosen medium to color with.

I tried to stay away from my standard orange, lime green, purple, and black

color scheme, but failed. I just don't see Halloween in any other colors.  

I also don't usually "do" scenes, but this little lady was just too

perfect to fussy cut out of her underwater lair. She comes in a set of

images which you can arrange any way you'd like, or use her already in

the scene as shown. She comes with lots of accessories and even a friend.   

I am still on my Nuvo drops kick. I used the green translucent drops

for her potion bubbles. And some White Blizzard glitter drops for some

underwater bubbles. I love these drops!

 Lastly, I mounted the colored panel onto some black card stock

and added a sentiment from my Halloween sentiment collection. 

I actually have an entire binder full of just Halloween words.

It's a sickness, but one I don't mind suffering from.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great weekend!!! 

And don't forget to stop by the Oddball Art Stamps website and

get signed up for the CCC and even go for it and sign up for the 

Exclusive Membership as well. All the cool kids are doing it!! 

Where's my Witches at?!

Back real quick with another Halloween make using another

Oddball image. Well, actually multiple images.

I love this kitty image that Lizzy drew to help heal 

from the passing of her own sweet kitty.

I fussy cut the kitty after coloring her in with Copics,

and popped her on top of the headstone.

I am also a sucker for witchy things, so this hat was a must for this card. 

I used an acetate ghost, with some TH Halloween words, a punched bat border, 

and the finishing touch of Nuvo drops to bring this card together. 

I was going for the familiar waiting for her witch, kind of vibe here.

I'd also like to enter this card in current challenge at 

Oddball Art Stamps. 

  

Oddball Halloween Trick or Treat

I've been busy with the chaos of life, but managed to find the time

to get some coloring done.

I was inspired by this Oddball Art Stamp, and then just went with it,

and actually produced a card for Halloween.

This adorable little rotten elephant is from the October Monthly Exclusive set.

All the more reason for you to pop for the $15 to join the member's club.  

I colored him using Copic Warm Grays, and added pops of Halloween type colors.

I managed to work in a cupcake liner and an old Glow Skull from back in the day. 

I finally figured out that if you cut into the cupcake liner like fringe, it will lay

flat. I've been struggling for far too long on that issue.

I also used some seriously vintage paper and adhesive border from my ridiculously

overstocked Halloween stash. And my new thing is to add Nuvo drops to everything.

I added the drops in White Blizzard, but they turned turquoise on the black liner. 

I like it. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

I'd like to enter this card in the current challenge at 

Oddball art Stamps.

AW Anything Goes

Just a quick share today of my DT sample for 

Aurora Wings Anything Goes.

Since I'm already lacking greatly in the Halloween makes this year,

I decided to have a go at making this into a Halloween themed thank you card.

My sister in law just took me to the Sinister Creature Con yesterday.

I think she deserves a nice card.

I used the adorable Day of the Dead Marigold Sprite. 

Another of my very favorite Sprites.

  I used a card base that was a sample of my new Color Burst powders.

So much fun to play and create with those! The card base already had

spider web embossing on the edges so it worked perfectly with that

Stampin' Up web doily.

 I colored this cutie up using Copics in my Halloween go to colors

of purple, green and orange. Topped everything off with a healthy

does of various colors of Stickles, and this card is ready for the post

office.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Be sure to check out all of the creative eye candy being shared over

at the Aurora Wings Challenge blog. 

  

For the Boys and Men

The new theme at Aurora Wings is 

"For the Boys and Men".

Now, I usually craft with a fairly masculine energy. No subtle colors

or super sappy baby images for this chick. BUT, I do have a problem

crafting specifically for men or boys in mind. So, this theme did kind of

throw me for a moment. Then I remembered that I have been wanting to

color in that adorable Zombie Puppy of Mitzi's. He goes purrfectly with the 

Zombie Kitty that I colored up so long ago here.        

I went with a Golden Retriever color palette for this undead pup.

I also just went for it and started my Halloween cards for the season.

It's never too early for me, ya know. In fact, I'm actually running

a bit behind this year...

I thought the feel of this card was pretty masculine, but I did have to

stop myself from adding some Stickles to the green goo dripping out 

this pup's mouth. Some habits are hard to break.

C'mon, even for a zombie puppy this guy is ADORABLE!!

I colored him with Copics and made sure to make his stitched-on leg

a bit discolored to mimic either a different breed of dog, or just a leg well

past it's "best by" date. 

I used various random Halloween papers from my ever growing scraps box

and collection of Halloween themed papers. And the googly eyes are a new

addition to my "collection". I had to use them in some way. I just had too!

I popped on some die cut bones and a spider web for balance and to add more

lime green to the project.

I think any boy, man, woman, or girl would love this card. And now the seal has been 

broken, so get ready for more Halloween themed projects from now until November.

Be sure to stop by the Aurora Wings Challenge blog and check out all of the 

incredible inspiration projects for this new theme.
