DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - SPARKLE AND BLING

Happy Sunday!

Yes I know I'm late making my post today but at least I'm here now! Over at Pike's Playground we are having another challenge and this week we're asking you to use one of Dustin's adorable images to produce something with lots of Bling! My card does have lots of shine but it's hard to get a good picture to show it! The image I colored in copics then added some Christmas colored stickles and lots of glaze on the cup. Around the outer edges I added more stickles in Diamond color. Stitching and gems add to the bling to complete my project, and I have to say I love how this one came out!  

I hope you'll join us in the fun and show us just how much bling you can incorporate on your projects this week! 

Have a great week!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

For my card this week I used one of my Tilda images that I got last year. I don't have too many of them but I like this one with her little candy cane. I colored her in copics, then added lots of Diamond stickles to give some sparkle. As you'll see on my photos below, I got a little carried away with the stickles!! But I like how it turned out.

There's lots of embossing too and I used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom of the card, then used one of my architectural corners dies at the top.

The satin ribbon and flower are from my stash and the sentiment too, it's one of those peal and stick thingies! Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Charlotte

For my card this week I chose another Dustin Pike cutie to color! I just love this little wizard kitty. I colored him in copics then added lots of stickles to add some sparkle! The dp is from Target, the dollar section! The ghosts at the bottom of the card are also from Dustin Pike and the ones at the top were cut from one of the sheets of dp. The Boo ribbon is from my stash and so is the bat ribbon. I just added some stickles for their eyes. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed seeing my card. Please don't forget to stop by to check out my DT sisters creations and also the Midnight Madness main site.
Have a wonderful week!

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - SPOOKTACULAR

 Good Morning and Happy Sunday to you all!

I almost forgot to get my card ready for this weeks challenge as I seem to have lost a day somewhere on my travels!!! Well I didn't have time to get it in for Dustin's post but at least it's here! Better late than never. The challenge this week is to make something "Spooktacular" using one of Dustin's images. I chose this cute puppy dressed as a mummy for my card and had this cute dp and cardboard words from Target that fit perfectly with the image. 

The inside I couldn't resist to finish off too with the "Yikes, Mummy!" As we say in the UK, mummy instead of mommy, it kind of has a slightly different meaning!!

Anyway, I hope you'll join us this week for this fun challenge and show us how Spooktacular you can get!

Have a great week!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

This week I used a D'Amour Allure image called Sadie's Floral Hat which you can find HERE and I have to admit that I love the way my card turned out. The dp is from Paper Temptress but I don't remember the names, sorry! The papers are divine and speak for themselves really, super quality and beautiful sheen and embossing. I colored the image in copics, added some Martha Stewart ink around the edges, then stitched on the image and background dp to really make the image stand out. The ribbon is from Jo Ann's, leaves from a Martha Stewart punch, flowers from Prima and D'Amour Allure.
I hope you will come along and play with the Midnight Madness team this week, the sketch is an easy but fun one to do!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great week!

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - MAKE US LAUGH

Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope you have all enjoyed the first part of your weekend, and will make the most of the rest of it. Personally Monday mornings always come around too soon, don't you think? I've been playing double duty this past week as my DH is overseas and I really miss his company. I'm so looking forward to his return and I know my sweet boy will be happy to have his daddy back too. 

This week over at Pike's Playground we are having another challenge and this one is for you to make us laugh- with humor cards or projects. I had this one in mind for a while as the first time I heard this little rhyme it cracked me up laughing. I love the expression of the Halloween kitty and know I'll definately be using this one again. I colored kitty in copics then used some embossed dp that I picked up in the dollar section at Target! I hope you'll hop on over and play along with us this week. 

Until the next time, have fun!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

For my card this week I used this adorable image from Stamp and Create. I colored it in shades of gray (except for the hair and skin of course!) and added some gloss on the boots and umbrella, and sparkles too.

I cut the butterfly out of a Martha Stewart punch, then added stickles and pearls.

Here's a closeup of the double ribbon and flower decoration I added for a little softness. The metal sticker is from my stash, ribbon and pearls are from Michael's, dp is from Anna Griffin called "Hannah Collection" for boys.

My card this week is using this gorgeous digi from Priscilla. I just love these ice skates as they remind me of watching the ice skaters during my time in Holland. They also bring back memories of when I broke my arm on New Years Eve when I slipped on a pond while ice skating (well trying to ice skate anyway!!!)

Have a wonderful week.
