Loving Lil Haunts Lilith

I just love my Lil Lolita Lilith stamp. She's dark and mysterious and bears a slight resemblance to the teenage me LOL! So you can imagine my excitement when out comes the new Lil Haunts Lilith just in time for Halloween!

As soon as I bought her I had to print her out and colour her so here's what I put together for this months challenge over at Tickled Pink. 

The lights a little bright so the colours seem a little washed out in the photo but ho hum. To create the Michelle Zindorf style background I used my brayer with different shades of blue ink and masked the moon with a large circle and sponged black for the ground.  I don't have any halloween sentiments so had to make do with what I had which was part of my CC's Spring kit from last year.

Lilith is coloured with C1 to C9 Copics with a splash of BV04 in her hair.  For her skin, in keeping with the goth theme, I went for a E000 & E0000.

Hope you have a great weekend....I'm waiting for it start snowing here.  Only in Melbourne can we expect snow after some beautiful spring days!

til next time

Tickled Pink Get Sparkly!

Hey there everyone
It's been a great weekend here in the Thomas household...lots of fun with friends and plenty of time to make cards:)

I decided to have a go at the Tickled Pink sketch challenge and lets just say I got a bit glitter happy! If you haven't seen the sketch, you can check it out here.  It seemed to take ages to put this together and I'm not really sure how I feel about it....maybe it will grow on me.

I started by cutting up my DSP into small squares and faux stitching them to some white card stock. I distressed the edges then just went for it!  Glitter, flowers, hearts, the whole nine yards:) I think what I'm not sure about is the butterfly in the DSP, it's a little distracting but it was the only blue DSP I had, so what's a girl to do??

I also made use of my Cricut today for the first time in ages. I connected it to my computer and I'm loving it! So much easier than trying to guess the right size/shape from the cartridge.

I'm really not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.  I'm on the countdown to Christmas and my long service leave.  Six whole weeks of no school drop offs and no work, I can't wait! Until then however it's all about websites and rewriting content (and a little bit of card making in between)
have a good week

Girlie Girl Lilith

Yeah I finally got to use my Lil Lolita stamps! I love Lilith, she's one of my favourites but I always colour her in very goth colours.  This weeks challenge at Lil Lolita Boutique was the perfect way to brighten her up!  The challenge this week was to make a 'girlie girl' card, here's my take on the challenge...

I've kept it fairly simple, but very pink!  I made some flowers with my retro punches and sprayed them with glimmer mist. I even made a teeny tiny one to add to Lilith's headband.  I've used very pale pink, greens and cream on her dress and stamped little pink flowers over her dress to create a floral print.

Paper: Prima Strawberry Kisses DSP, textured pink cardstock.
Stamps: Tickled Pink Lilith, sentiment from PTI
Copics: R83, 81, 89, 85, G00, 000, 63, 67, E 77, 74, 71, 70, 000, 00, 40, 41, BG01, C5, 3
Ink: SU Pink Pirouette & Mellow Moss
Accessories: SU pearls and hat pin, Kaiser pearls

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend,

No DSP...what the??

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. It's cold and wet here again...no suprise really given were in the mountains and it's the middle of winter:) I used to hate winter, stopped me from getting out and about and doing things. The idea of staying at home, inside all day used to drive me crazy. Now I look forward to it! The rest of the week is so busy it's nice to just chill out and enjoy some time at home.

So today I decided to try the No DSP challenge at Lil Lolita Botique and if ever there was a card that was destined to fail it was this one!! So many mistakes in the making of this card, its not funny. Accidently used the wrong copic on her hair (she started out a blonde), wrong distress ink on the first scroll I made, cut the pink too small etc etc. I was ready to give up but persavered and got there in the end, just took a little longer than I expected!!

For my card I used Ivy and created my own background paper using Papertrey's Guide Lines stamps.  It may have taken a while, but I'm pleased it turned out ok in the end.

Supplies: 

Stamps - 'Ivy' from Lil Lolita Range at Tickled Pink, Guide Lines Two and Giga Guide Lines from Papertrey Ink. 

Inks - SU Pink Pirouette. 

Copics - Hair E35, 25,29, Clothes C9,7,5,3, R85,83,81, Skin E000,00 Eyes E40, B24, R20. Accessories - Kaiser bling, SU pearls, assorted flowers and ribbon. 

Swirl cut with Cricut Storybook cartridge.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Tickled Pink Monthly Challenge

Another challenge I got to take part in over the long weekend was the Tickled Pink monthly challenge. I really enjoyed this one, was nice to try something a little different.

I've only just discovered Tickled Pink and I just love their Lil Lolita range of stamps, but since I used Lilith just the other day and its been a little cold and wet lately I decided to use my Rainy Day Emma. The challenge was to make a card using the sketch provided and a matching bookmark. Not sure if I ruined it with the sparkly rain, but you just don't know until you try right??

Here's what I came up with;

Supplies

Cardstock & paper: Marrakech DSP by Basic Grey, Groovy Guava DSP by SU, Ocean Tides by PTI, Chocolate Chip by SU

Stamps: Rainy Day Emma by CC Designs

Copics: Hair & Boots - E 70, 71,74,77,79, Jacket & Umbrella YR 02, 00, Jeans - B97, 95 91, Skin - E000, E00, R20
