It's Hallowe'en - with Delicious Darkness

Hi everyone
Mega posting day in the Cubbyhole - First up with Delicious Darkness Challenges
The challenge this month is Anything Goes with a Twist of Hallowe'en.
For my project I made a door wreath.

Using 13 of the Evil Skully images and 2 of Disturbia as a central swinging/hanging accent (attached only at the top)

These were all attached to a metal frame that I had covered with hessian strips. Then wrapped black 2mm organza ribbon in a criss-cross pattern.

The Skullys then adhered using silicon glue.

A simple but effective, I think, door decoration for any time of year in my home although I believe others take their decs down ready for the "C" time of year.

What Hallowe'en make will you have to show us? Looking forward to seeing them entered into our challenge.

Gone Gothic with Delicious Darkness

It's our second challenge over at Delicious Darkness challenge blog. A month long challenge where you can go as dark as you like. In fact, it's no cuteness allowed - it MUST be a dark/gothic/alternative creation and if a Delicious Doodles/Darkness image is used......... so much the better and you then get to enter again.

This month it's all about 

GOING GOTHIC

What did I do? Just a card this time..............

Using the awesome image Leather and Lace

Coloured with a mixture of promarkers and graph'it pens

The card - well that is a pearlised paper as the main mat with coredinations dry embossed and sanded on top of that. The corner squares cut from DCWV immortal love stack and the image mounted onto leather textured paper. Some ribbon, lace and pearls. The little sentiment was stamped, cut into individual words and these mounted onto the coredinations offcuts.

Simple and quick to put together once the image was coloured.

Please check out the projects of rest of the team and, when you've picked your jaw up from the ground, come along and show us how gothic you can go

Hugs

Deliciously Dark

Delicious Doodles have branched out and are now hosting challenges for those of you that favour the DARK. It's no secret that Teri loves drawing her dark images and has now decided that it's time to have a challenge specifically for them. ........... SO NO CUTE allowed at

Delicious Darkness Challenges.

I am honoured to be amid a team of immensely talented crafters asked to join the team and our first challenge has gone live today. You have nearly a month to get those deliciously dark projects made and linked up at the challenge linky. For more deets - you'll just have to go look for yourselves.
I have made a couple of hanging ornaments suitable for either Hallowe'en or Creepmas using a blank wire snowflake frame.
First up is the image "Skully Pendant"

The image printed 12 times (6 mirror images) Coloured and fussy cut out. Seed beads form the vertebra, then the images stuck front and back. More beads and finished off with a black ribbon bow.
My second one features that gorgeous Raven Skull Pendant image.

Same principle - 12 images stuck either side of the wires then dipped in UTEE. Beads and ribbon to complete.

Now go look again at all the eye candy the rest of the guys came up with, get your thinking caps on and come join us so we can ooooo and arhhhh at yours.

Delicious Darkness with Left of Centre

Morning all
Anyone that is into the darker and alternative side of crafting should of heard of, by now, the challenge blog called Left Of Centre. The style welcomed there is always non-cute and "just as it says on the box". This month also marks their first anniversary and a massive month long challenge with loads of sponsors. You really need to check it all out!
One of the many sponsors is none other than Delicious Doodles and the sister Delicious Darkness  for whom I have the honour of representing today. One of Teri's newest images is "Let me out" and if you look back to Monday you will see I've used this image in yet another way.
Today I made a little collection of three ATCs. Each showing different pyramage techniques. The image lends itself so well for the first two because of the mesh grid already in the picture. They can also be made from the same prints as they are made from the off-cuts of the other.

The third is slightly more time consuming but seemed fitting as I was in a bit of a twisted mind set at the time.

Each layer cut by measuring increments of 5deg up from the sides of each copy of the image. This naturally makes each layer smaller. Just a case of lining each piece up with the image below.

That's it from me today folks. Get on over to the Left of Centre blog for more surprises, eye candy and the challenges.

Head on back tomorrow when I'll have a little surprise for you all **wink, wink**

It's Monday and That Means It's Macabre

It's time to play a game, week 2, over at the dungeon of Haunted Design House. This fortnight is all about A Game / Inspired by the SAW franchise.

Who doesn't have some random game pieces floating around in their craft stash? A domino, or a chess piece? Kept for sole reason that you may find a use for it someday?

Well, today is that day! Dig into your incomplete jigsaw puzzles, 

and your long forgotten chess sets. This is their chance to shine!  

Now just to be clear, you do not have to use the SAW film franchise, 

but if you'd like to go that route, we'd love to see that kind of art as well. 

The other Minions have woven their magic and devised some awesome artwork, you really need to check them out!

Me? Just a tag

If any of you have not heard - the main antagonist in the films is the character "Jigsaw" hence my play on this. Using an image called "Let Me Out" from Delicious Doodles/ Delicious Darkness (the brain child and pen of Teri, who just happens to be a fellow Minion). Also my Drippy goo punch and a chess pawn as a charm on some chain with some treasured skully ribbon as a tie.

The entire tag coated with clear rock candy to show how cracked up Jigsaw was.

A simple tag really when boiled down to a few words and my son's fingerprint hardly shows. He just HAD to pick it up whilst drying to look.

YOUR turn now to get those projects made and linked in so that we can come and admire how far outside the box you can think/create.
