Go With The Flow

Hi Everyone,

Go with the Flow is one of my favourite Queens of the Stone Age songs,  So, I was kinda pleased when Smeared and Smudged used the song and the video as inspiration for their Rock N Rolla Challenge.

Here is the card I made, let me know what you think :)

 

The bat image is from Smeared Ink's A Little Bit Batty digi set.  I reversed to colours on the PC  made it look like a negative and then digi coloured it red.  The flock of bats (top and bottom) are stamped and heat embossed and the ribbon sentiment is the tag from the back of my bathrobe LOL.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge(s)

Hello!

Hi everyone!

My name is Alex and I'm posting this on behalf of my Mam (or Fiona as you know her) as she is busy with work and wouldn't be able to post it in time.

So here is another one of her amazing cards (I wish I was as creative as her...my lack of creativity is shown in the design of the blog and it's background)

My Mam made this for Stamp Insanity's SISC71~Your FAVORITE SISC!

She chose the Favourite Colour challenge (three guesses what her favourite colour is...)

I think that's it....Oh! except, this post will probably be edited by my Mam once she gets in from work so you won't have to put up with me for long lol.

OK, thanks all!  Nice to meet you. See ya around.

Alex

Thanks Alex :) and nope, I'm not going to change a single word, all I'm going to do is say Thank You to all those who left kind and encouraging comments on my previous post and add the usual details.

The image is one of the new Victorian Steampunk releases from Make it Crafty
The backing paper is from the Papermania Capsule Collection, Heather Paper Collection by Tina Higgins.  The flowers and ribbon are from my stash.

Synonymous Sunday

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to day 7 of SmudgFest....... the last day of a week of challenges hosted by Smudgy Antics.  For today's challenge we are to create a project using a little cutie by the name of Calypso. Those generous people at Smeared Ink have given her to us FREE, but don't worry she will be available to buy from Smeared Ink soon

When I saw her an idea started to form in my head (should have left it there :(  ).  I wanted to keep this card mega simple, with just eyes peering from the darkness , but I don't think I have pulled it off tho. If I had the time I would start over. 

Sorry folks, it looked much better in my head!    

 here is my entry using Calypso,  let me know what you think.

 The image is from Smeared Ink.  The cats eyes were drawn by my Daughter and then coloured with Sakura's (by me)

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge(s)

Haunted Design House's 100th Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well.  Thank you all sooo much for all your kind and encouraging comments on my previous post. :)

This week over at Haunted Design House they are holding their 100th challenge, to celebrate this they are offering some Blog candy-corn

There are rubber and clear stamps, a handful of cards created by The Masterful Mistress herself, chipboard shapes and letters, altered chipboard purse & album pages, skullies, ribbons, floss, embellishments, Distress Stickles, rub-ons... Even a cute stuffed jacko (he's my favorite)... and much much MORE!                  

WOW!!!!

The challenge this week is the "Varying Visages of Vincent" (translates to: the many faces of Vinny),  To create a dark, Gothic. or Halloween based art piece that is inspired by the TRUE Master of the Macabre...... VINCENT PRICE....... A movie, character, poem, narration, song or quote ........ anything that the great Vincent Price has touched can be used for inspiration.

I have decided to do a Scrapbook page for a change, let me know what you think :)

Oh I am sooo lucky, I get to combine two of my favourites ....... Vincent Price and Alice Cooper!  Vincent was a Special Guest Star on Alice Cooper's album "Welcome to My Nightmare" one of my all time favourites!!!

Images of Vincent Price and Alice Cooper are from the Internet.  The background is a photocopy of Alice Cooper's "Welcoome to My Nightmare" album cover.
