Here is a card I created using a digital stamp from Delicious Doodles.  First I colored here with Copic markers, then added some layers, lace and pearls. Paper is from “The Paper Studio”

It’s time for another Corrosive Challenge!  This fortnight we are sponsored by Delicious Doodles, and the prize will be 4 free digi’s, so you will definitely want to play along!  For my card, I chose Steampunk Mermaid.  I colored my mermaid with Copics.  For my metal bits I added some copper looking brads across the tops.  Then I added two gears  at the top, and a ships wheel to make it look like three gears, but also add an ocean feel. The bottom are  jumpers for jewelery that I just lined up and glued down.   I had a lot of fun putting her together.  Thanks for stopping by for a look!  Hope to see you for the challenge!

Well, here is my entry for this fortnights Corrosive Challenge, Maiden, Mother and Crone – sponsored by Delicious Doodles.  I had a hard time with the card because I didn’t have a clear picture in my head of what I wanted and the result wasn’t exactly what I was going for, so I’m not completely happy with it, but I guess it turned out ok.

Anyway, I used my cuttlebug and wood grain embossing folder to create the background.  I went over the raised parts with a white wax crayon, then used Tim Holtz distress stain (peeled paint and vintage photo) on it, and sponged off the excess, giving it the greenish brown textured background.  I was trying to make the bottom look sort of look like the ground, but I’m not sure that came across, for that I used some tan netting that I stained with the distress stain and glued down, then added my brads.  I cut out some butterfly clipart and added that to fill up some spaces.  I also cut out the leaves and popped them up for a bit of a 3-D feel.

Created this card for yesterday’s Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge (SC297).  This fantastic Green Man digi image is from Delicious Doodles.  I had a bit of a hard time getting the leaves stuffed in the corner just the way I wanted them.  I glued, I taped, I cussed…..finally found some glue dots and just glue….dotted(?) like crazy.  It’s a real mess on the other side of that panel : p

I hand stitched all the way around the bottom panel, cause I’m crazy like that.  (Truth is, I could never manage to get the hang of the sewing machine, darn it!)  The only green thread I had was really thin, so it kept getting tangled.  More cussing for me.  I cut out my Green Man and popped him up with some foam tape to add some dimension.  Didn’t really care for that last thin top panel. I tried a few different things, but wasn’t happy with any of them, and by that time, my brain was starting to go numb, so I stuck with the original text piece.
