Challenge time over at Punkyougirl

This months challenge over at punkyougirl is Angels and demons,
for this challenge i have chosen to using 2 digi's from the fabulous Teri @ Delicious Doodles
which are Devil May Care and Fallen. the project has been inspired by my tough time of late, going through a breakup, my puppy almost dying, and feeling in that dark place of depression, so i have chosen to think positive and not 'let the demons over shadow me'


I have coloured the image using the following promarkers, ruby, berry red, and lipstick red, for fallen icicle, grey squirrel, mustard, henna, cocca, sandstone, dusky pink, blush and emerald, with a little silver gel pen for wings detail.

and its a water theme, so anything to do with water, mermaids, sea shells, seahorses, fishes, etc... 

here is my creation using Delicious doodles
Cancer image

I have used promarkers on the image, i wanted to keep her light as i knew the background would be quite vibrant. the backing paper is some foil i had in my stash, which i crumpled to give the water effect, i cut some thin strips of green card for the reeds, and pearls added to her head and edges finished with "Birthday Fishes" as a sentiment.

challenge 14 over at left of centre

 
CHALLENGE TIME AGAIN AND THIS FORTNIGHTS CHALLENGE IS NO DEISGNER PAPERS.
 
So here I have taken some card stock and using a urban stamp stamped the steampunk image all over it. the I slice the middle in a shape of an X to fold the flaps back and make it look like a box. clever hey, I then stamped the image once more cutting it out and placing it in the middle,
coloured using promarkers and silver and gold gel pens, I top the corner with some cog die cuts to finish it off

First time acetate

 
Well as I decided I wanted to try something new with the masks, I thought why not go the whole hog and try using acetate too
 
 

 the card has been sprayed with Mister Heuy's Vanilla,  Dark Calico and Warm Calico, using a strip of paper to cover areas I didn't want to spray giving the various shapes and colours, I then embossed the middle strip of the card, taking some natural shoe polish and ultra fine gold glitter, and using my finger rub the polish with just a touch of glitter over small areas, giving it a shiny appearance, I then used Vintage stamp in black, finishing it off with a metal cog.
 
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.
