Going Gothic!

LOVE the Kenny K challenge this week of Going Gothic!

A pre-coloured image that I can finally use! Wahay! Although, I do have more than one pre-coloured image that I could use, but I went with Kitty Katastrophe. She is one cool lass...

When I think of gothic, I always think of dark colours, blacks, grey, red, purple... I thought I'd do someat a little different and went for cyan, black & purple. Still looks gothic tho. I also when for a bit of glitter card rather than using "flat" card. The panel that Kitty is on, is purple card embossed with black ink rubbed over the top to pick out the embossing. 

 

It needs a greeting but not decided yet on said greeting. I'll probably add that at a later date.

Kitty is also raised from the panel too. 

Here's a close up...

The lighting in both pictures is completely different! Oh well...

Good Night! 

The snowing is falling here thick and fast. I for one, love it! I know a lot hate it but not me... I'd rather it snow than rain to be honest. Least you don't get as wet in snow :) 

Anyways, onto my post. This, I have never done before, but I must say, I'll be using this technique again! 

So the card itself, I originally started making it for the Miss Anya challenge but forgot to upload the pic in time.. But then I seen the My Time To Craft! challenge of "Spotlight Technique" Perfect! 

Here it is:

   Short & sweet post tonight.. I'm off to look out the window at the snow falling.

Black, White + One.

Another card using Alice Mae.. I'm sure there will be a few more over the weekend. That's what you get for having pre-coloured images! Takes a bit of time out of the making process though :) 

So, the card itself... 

Full card

Quite a simple design but yet such a versatile one. I will definitely be using this layout again! 

The gingham paper and the glitter card is actually turquoise in colour. (I think I had too much light on the card). The black and white panel is a piece of linen card embossed, with an ink pad run over the top.

 Challenges I'm entering into:

Red Head Mae

Ah, I'm doing well... 2nd post this week! 

Straight into it then... How adorable is this image?! If you haven't checked out the Some Odd Girl site, please do check it out here. They do rubber stamps and digi's. Although not so sure you will be able to decide what to purchase! I always have trouble. They are just to lovely! 

So, the card I've made I'm entering into 2 challenges, one being a sketch and the other being a theme. Struggled with the sketch, contemplated turning it around but changed my mind. 

Full Card

Quite a vibrant card but looking at it now... not sure I like the blue gingham?! Oh well, nout I can do about it! 

So the challenges:

1. Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch #188-89

2. Papertake Weekly - "Happy New...." 

For the "Happy New...." I have used my new ultimate pro board to get the oval, new brads & new stamp. She is also a newish image.

Close up.

Enough rambling, I'm off to make some fairies...
