Welcome to our new Quirky Challenge, it is me (Doris), and this time we want to celebrate Autumn and Halloween Colors. All you have to do is a project, any project, using the lovely Autumn and Halloween colors. Easy... isn´t it?
I`m not a Halloween fan, but I love Autumn. It is my favorite color palette. For my make I used this beautiful silhouette "Tending The Vines" design by Floppy Latte and provided by our generous sponsor.
This is my idea for this challenge, I made a frame, because I love it. I used the lovely and cute image Edward & Bella, provided for our sponsor Stitchy Bear.
Sorry I'm late again, I was away with family for the weekend and busy last week so I didn't get my card made in time.
I used two of IkeSart images merged to make my dungeon scene: Castle Room and Skelly Gossip. To this I added some bat sequins and some Tim Holtz spiders and webs and the sentiment.

Image and song is Jingle Bells from Limited Runs, Papers used Bearly Mine, added the song by way of MCS programme, added lots of silver glitter around the edge, the bells I printed and then cut out added loads of silver glitter and coloured the bows with Graph It Markers, then added silver mirri card candy and holly leaves.
There is a children´s book called "Narcisa, la gata coqueta". It's about a beautiful cat that always is thinking about her beauty and doesn't take care of real important issues.I did a corner bookmark and I used "PurrtyGirl" stamp from Paper Pretties.
I think you can work out what my card is about, the song With a little help from my friends by the legendary John Lennon. The image is Pierre and Ernest from Paper Pretties, and as soon as I saw the quote that came with the image, it comes with a few sentiments, I knew I had to use this image and sentiment for my thanks card.
To my project I used Astra,
the beautiful digi from our generous sponsor Paper Pretties. I remember to Clarence angel, George Bailey friend's. Also I make a
Vintage Lantern to hope for better times. My project is coloured with acuarelable pencils.
Hello everyone. This week I worked on a card inspired in the amazing The Little Drummer Boy. I used the Drummer Boy Digi from our amazing sponsor: Limited Runs . I also used some cutting files and, as always I used Spectrum Noir for painting this cute digi. I wish you will have an amazing week!!
Hello everyone!! It´s me (Doris) inviting you to our new Challenge Quirky Charades, is it a book, Film or Song. Remember the party game? Just tell us which book, film or song your project is based on and thats it . Easy, don´t you think? Now, to see who won the last challenge click HERE or scroll down to the next post, and let me introduce you our Sponsors and Prizes.
Little Drummer Boy ( song, and Drummer Boy is the name of the image from Paper Pretties as well), coloured with Graph It Markers, cut out and adhered to card using silicone glue, papers used for the bottom of the card gold metallic with gold embossed stars, Kanban patterned card stock, Aperture cut with oval Spellbinders Scalloped die, Added gold stars and sentiment.
My first card is a song - Welcome Home by Peter's and Lee, and I have been singing it all afternoon. I used Welcome from Paper Pretties with a sentiment that is one of several with the image, and perfect for my song!
My second card might be a little late, I have to go hospital visiting and will probably not have time to finish and load it up - so check back later.
Monday - a little later than planned, but I wanted to get this right and it was very late when I finished it last night. This is about Pretty Woman, which is a film and a song, but I don't think it was ever a book. Wouldn't it be great if you can find something that covers all three! The image is from Limited Runs and is called Molly and you can find her on the Girls page of Limited Runs. Details are on my blog.
For my first project I used the lovely "Flutterby" provided by our sponsor Paper Pretties. This card is inspired in one of my favorites songs: Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler.
This card represents the freedom of an eagle flying high up in the sky.
For my second project I got my inspiration from a pretty sad kids story "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen.
For this project I used "Sitting Pretty" digi provided by our sponsor Limited Runs.
Both projects were colored with a mix on Spectrum Noir pens and Prismacolor pencils.
Hi everyone! For my project I used this cute digi Stamp Winter Fairy, provided by our sponsor, Limited Runs Stamps. This card is inpired in one of my favorite story, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.
This beautiful girl remember me, the Ghosts of Christmases Past, I love this story, because I love Christmas. My project is colored with acuarelables pencils.
Will be late, is stuck in the middle of nowhere dog sitting of course! Lyn said "I have gone to the dogs".
I'm here!! I'm out of the 'dog house!' Wednesday night....better late than never!
Here's my card. I've used this cute little Santa from Limited Runs. He was coloured on the compter, (with a tiny dash of Pastle blue Promarker added afterwards. I've printed him on to my own snowy paper, then fixed him over Pink Petticoat Snowflakes paper and some embossed silver card. The Sentiment diecuts are from Crafts Creations. I've added some Stickles Glitter to his hat and coat. I've also added an die-cut snowflake corner, white sparkly eye-lash wool and the tiny snowflakes he's holding were punched out from the waste of the sentiment diecuts. And my song?? "Let it Snow! Let It Snow! Let it Snow!" of course.
For my frist project I made a card using the Heavenly Angel from the Fairies and Angels set. It is provided by our sponsor Limited Runs . I inspired me by the the Angel song from Sarah McLachlan. I worked the image with Spectrum Noir Markers and I added some embellishments too. Here is the link, just in case: Angel.
My second project is based on The Lion King movie, which is one of my little one favorites movie. We are always singing and dancing with this song. The image Leonardo Lion from Paper Pretties. In this case what I did was print and cut in a different papers and I used Distress Ink and Spectrum Noir for the details. And this is the link: The Lion Sleeps Tonight !!!
