Spots and/or Stripes Challenge at Left of Center

We have a new challenge today at Left of Center! This will be a busy one, the theme is 'Spots and/or Stripes' and we'd love to see what you create with this! Remember you can go LOC too - or mix the two like I've done!

My image is 'Eyeball Cupcake' from Limited Runs and it's coloured with Promarkers and black pencil. I've added Glossy Accents to the iris and pupil of each eye ball too! The paper is from Jilly Bean soup. The rosette is Martha Stewart and the glittered embellishment is from my stash. The stripey washi tape is from Do Crafts Gorjuss range.

Thanks for looking!

Anything Goes Dark Themed Challenge at Left of Center

We have a new Anything Goes challenge at Left of Center starting just now. There is a twist though - it must be dark themed. So think Goth, Emo, Horror, Fantasy, dark and scary and join us! Our sponsor this week is Limited Runs and I have used the 'Alexandree' image to create my card this week!

I have coloured him using my Promarkers as usual. I have used paper from Bo Bunny for the background. The embossing is a sample of colour core core'dinations with a Cuttlebug embossing folder which I've sanded down slightly. The sentiment is from Gingers House and I've finished the card with some zombie arms coming out the ground!

Thanks for looking!

Left of Center First Anniversary Celebrations!

Left of Center Creative Challenge is currently celebrating it's first anniversary with a fabulous extravaganza Anything Goes Challenge event! Every day till the end of the month there is amazing inspiration on the blog from the LOC Crew and some of its favourite Guest Designers! I have a project on there today, I'm ashamed to say it's my first of the month, but it's not my last!

I have used a Halloween Cupcake image from Limited Runs Stamps and coloured it with my Promarkers in suitable halloweeny colours!

I have used my Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor papers to make this card and layered everything up with black pearlescent paper. The stickers are Stampendous.

Here are the links you need for the current LOC Challenges -

Happy New Year at the Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day! Now to get cooking for Boxing Day - lots of visitors expected! But here's to the next thing - Happy New Year is the theme at the Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog this week if you have time to join us during this busy period. We are sponsored by Limited Runs and I just love their cupcake digis - lots to choose from - and I have used the Star Cupcake for my simple card today.

Sadly this will be my last post for the Crafters Cafe for a while. With lots of commitments I have had to let a couple of things go and unfortunately I will be taking a break from this DT for the time being.

I have used a 3d star embossing folder on some Green Core'dinations which I sanded using my emery board! This was mounted onto orange pearlescent paper and onto a white 6x6 card blank which I've embossed down the side with Christmas lights! The sentiment I printed from Word and edged with Dusty Concord distress ink. The image is coloured with Promarkers and Stickles in Orange and Lavender. Some gold star brads finish the card.

Thanks for looking, hope you are all enjoying the festivities!
