Polymer Vamp Necklace

I know this picture is so sucky (haha terrible joke).  I made this using polymer clay and after baking I put anita's 3d gloss on it for the shine.  I don't have a necklace for it yet but have put the eyepins in.  I have made three for my three nieces as they love vampires.

They do look quite good in real life but terrible in this photo.  After I attach the necklace I will post more pics of the finished product.

Simply Betty Challenge #2 & The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge #19

This week the team at Simply Betty want us to create a new Halloween colour combo, diverging from the traditional Black, Orange, Purple and Greens. Make a project, card or layout creating a new colour combo using anything but these colors.  Over at the Burtonesque Dolls it is to create a trick or treat burton style.  I feel as if I'm being watched.... BOO.

This is my attempt using Gigi, lots of red grey and a funny shade of brown glitter card.  I added some polka dot red ribbon and put some behind one of my polymer badges and the backing paper I made on the comp and printed out (actually should be black with eyes but my printer ran out of ink and printed grey streaks with eyes but I kinda liked it.  I added white stickles to the blacker parts to make them grey/sparkle:

Anyway here it is, as usual nothing spectacular but anywho got kids to collect, dinners to make and as an added bonus I am potty training my youngest and she is determine to mark her territory hehe (so glam being a mum).

Work in Progress

Another work in progress that I will probably never finish.  I have been really busy this week, started an acrylic art class and doing some stuff for nursery plus my I still can't walk properly because of my fall on my knee so am still hobbling about, hubby is now calling me stumpy.  Sorry haven't been commenting as much this week.

Anyway this isn't going how I expected as it is a bit too big.  Was supposed to look like a little creature coming from an egg but it is way too big (even though it is teeny).  Oh and it is sticking it's tongue out.

It isn't finished and hasn't been baked or painted yet.  I am going to add some hair and some fingernails etc.

Anyway this is my offering for the moment.

Haunted Design House and Kraftin Kimmie Challenge

This is my entry for Haunted Design House challenge (horrific haunts) and the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge (mostly black and white).  I love this Kraftin Kimmie Stamp it is the Marie Antoinette so any chance I get I use her even though my stamping always leaves a blank spot and I have to try and cover it up.  I coloured her with copics and promarkers as I have various greys in each.  I put some tulle behind the haunted house image (which I got in a toiletry set and kept).  The card is coordinations black cardstock and I distressed (haha use that word lightly as I am a joke at that) I added a little ghost to the side of the house, Marie might look like she is happy but she is a poor little thing that has never got over the loss of her one true love (the cat!).  I used papermania brads to attach the ribbon for a little wall hanging or door hanging.  I also attached a flower at the top to hide the nail (how charming).

Anyway, signing out to go and check out some blogs to see all the delights that they may behold.

Simply Betty Challenges - No1

COLOURS, COLOURS EVERYWHERE NOR A DROP TO INK...

Over at Simply Betty Challenges it is their first week up an running and it is a photo inspiration challenge.  Kinda found this one really hard to do as I like black, grey and red haha (very exciting person I am).  But with the help of my little girl she pointed me in the right direction with the colours I kinda got it done ha.

The reason Betty doesn't have her cat is I messed it up big time and decided to put a charm cat instead (immortalised).  I tried to make this as colourful as was humanly possible (overboard or what!).  I tried to colour her hair to match the photo but I'm not sure it came out to well.  I'm still learning when it comes to cardmaking so give me a break! haha no really still a bit shoddy no matter how I try hehe.  I know the pic is really dull and doesn't show the proper colour either but it is pitch black here and this is the only time I get to take a pic so will have to get hubby to set up some sort of lightbox or something.

Anyway that's enough of my rants for one millenium.
