Left Of Center and Smudgy Antics Challenges

I was not sure if I would make the closing time on the Left Of Center Creative Challenges blog, but Yes (!), it does not close for another day.  And I am also in time to get one more in on the Smudgy Antics blog, {sigh}.

I had this image printed out and somewhat colored, then got side tracked with moving, Smudgefest, and   laundry...always laundry.  Anyhooo...got it finished.

Left Of Center Challenge #11 - Creepmas in July or any LOC theme

Smudgy Antics - Use Fussy Cutting in project

There are so many wonderful entries and projects by the Design Teams in each challenge that if you got a minute you've got to check them out.

Even goth girls enjoy Christmas.  My gal is writing her wish list to Santa.  I have fussy cut her body, her head (2x), and her list (2x).  First picture is a straight on shot, and the second is one from the side so you can see the fussy cutting.

Details, Details

Digital Stamp is from Pur Imagination/Lacy Sunshine.  Click HERE for link, you may have to scroll down a bit, she is called Abby Love Letters.  Hard to see, but I used a fine tip black Sharpie to change the letter on her letter to Dear Santa.

I used a Blender Pen and Stampin' Up! inks to color her in.  An Aqua Painter was used around all sides with Basic Gray ink.

She is printed out on copy paper 4 times, then colored and fussy cut.
Layers are adhered with dimensionals.

Other stamps are from Stampin' Up! sets Christmas Lodge - greens, and More Merry Messages - sentiment.

The jewel and skull eyes is Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details.  Her dress filling also has Dazzling Details on it.

Feather is from Hobby Lobby.

I did use an Embossing Folder, Plenty Petals on the Basic Black card stock card base.

WINNER!

Found out that I am a winner.  

A number 1 winner even!
