New Challenge! New Place!

Hello, everyone! A little change to the SBS challenges has occurred. The Design Teams for the Simply Challenged Challenges Blog and the Simply Steampunk Challenges Blog have been combined into one team and the Simply Challenged Challenges Blog has been discontinued. The DT members will be taking turns (in two different teams) on the challenges over at the Steampunk Challenges Site and work together to bring you new releases from SBS. Pretty exciting for me, since I happen to love coloring the Steampunk images so much!

So stick with me as I adjust to the change; won't be too different. And stop by regularly to see what I, and the rest of the DT has is store for you!

Go to the Simply Steampunk Challenges Blog for all the details. Here are some of them:

Challenges will now start on the 10th of each month. 

Winners are announced when the next Challenge begins.. you may enter as many times as you like, BUT each entry must be new and follow the rules of the challenge. 

you MUST use a Steampunk image.

 The DT is using The Roberts Portraits

okay everyone ready for a new Challenge? 

Make it Lacy, join in and have fun!
Winner will get 1 Steampunk image of choice,
MUST have 5 entries for the Challenge to get a prize. 

Here is what I came up with using the Mr. Roberts Portrait from the collection:

For this card, I colored the image with Copics and used the "no lines" stamping technique. After I colored Mr. Roberts in I added an outline to the raven behind him and "stars" to the background, using a white Faber-Castell marker then going over them with more FC markers in various colors. The papers are from DCWV and the clocks are some transparencies I had in a box. I also added some dark red lace, tiny staples (with a Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher), and Liquid Pearls. 

Thank you for stopping by! Make sure to check out  Team A DT's blogs, and let me know if you decide to enter the challenge!

It's the 13 Days of Halloween! ~Day 12~

Hello, all! We're in the homestretch now! It's the twelfth day of the 13 Days of Halloween over at the Simply Betty Stamps Blog! The 13 Days of Halloween are an annual celebration at SBS throughout the month of October full of challenges, prizes, and surprises! So stop by and join in!

The twelfth challenge of the 13 Days of Halloween is to create a shaped Halloween card. Remember no squares or rectangles!Use your imagination and create some shaped cards that are totally creepy!

Check out the Simply B Stamps blog for all the fun details!

This is my project for this challenge:

 

I created this tombstone shaped card using my Cricut Expression and the Oct 31 cartridge. The image is Mr. Roberts from The Roberts Portraits collection created by Abigail Larson for Simply B Stamps. The image is colored with Copics. I used Distress Ink around the edges of the tombstone and Liquid Pearls to accent the edges and contours. 

Stop by tomorrow for the final 13 Days of Halloween challenge!
