15 Shades Of Grey

Firstly, forgive me please if this doesn't post as planned, I'm setting it to autopost - away on hols soon.

Haunted Design House challenge this week is Sponsored by Tiddly Inks and it's an Anything goes challenge. - A FREAKERS' FREE FOR ALL

I've been busy trying to get things done, work and get ready to go away so this week I've only made a quick bookmark. No I haven't read the book that a lot are raving about, but went with a little pun on the title. I used 15 shades of grey to colour this image with. Yep, all 15 promarker shades that I have.

The BP are also grey, a touch of black and white was added with the swirls (cricut cut). I followed the card layout on Fetch A Sketch challenge this week, it lended itself so well for this.
The back of the bookmark was not left unadorned. I stamped and heat embossed in black an image from a Cherry Pie "writers" plate.

The cord and tassel were home made using embroidery thread in 5 shades of grey.

That's all I have this week folks.
The other minions will surely have some wonderful eye candy for you to see.
See you when I get back

I'd like to enter this into the challenge over at
Fetch-A-Sketch - their sketch

Bingo!!!

Delicious Doodles challenge fortnight starts today - with another fantastic challenge. A bingo card challenge no less! 

For those that have never used one of these - a line is chosen horizontal, vertical or diagonal and and all those elements have to be in the project.

We have an additional incentive for you lovely people this week. DUCK POND CRAFTS are giving one very lucky winner a collection of ribbons and flowers etc that are absolutely beautiful. Karen is my supplier of choice for all my flowers and charms now so I know from experience how lush these are.

On to my card for the challenge.

 I chose the bottom line of flowers, pearls and brads to make this.....

Yes, I've used Delicious Doodles images as well, but as my DT piece, I would. The images I used are The Gravestone Scene and the Gothic Bride.
The front of the easel card

I used the sketch over at Fetch-A-Sketch as inspiration, turning it on it's side. The papers used are all from Crafty Chaos Designs. There are FLOWERS there, 2 little  bunches of black roses and a home-made red one. The lace is decorated with pearly BRADS and more PEARLS in the left hand corners. The light isn't the best I'm afraid.
A better view of the bride herself

Coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out before placing on the BP. I thought the lace on her dress was a great match with that in my stash :).
It's now up to you peeps out there to show us your projects....please.

Don't forget there's that absolutely fantastic prize of some GORGEOUS blooms from the lovely Karen over at DUCK POND CRAFTS

Don't forget to go visit the other DT projects in your travels for more inspiration.
