" OH MY GOURD" Haunted Design House Challenge.

I haven't participated in a challenge for quite awhile and thought I'd jump in and give this one a go. It's all down to my friend Mark over at SPESH INK for the inspiration to participate. The theme this week over at Haunted Design House is to base your project around Pumpkins. So here's my contribution to this weeks challenge.

 

I have made a cut and paste ATC. The ATC was made using the Tim Holtz ATC die. The background was created in photoshop using elements and brushes from my stash. Mr Scary Pumpkin Head was also created in photoshop with the body of a vintage image attached. Cut the body and head out and glued to the ATC. Glossy accents was then applied to the Pumpkin Head to give dimension. A fun challenge will have to participate again. Thanks Mark.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read.

My Most Recent Digital Work.

Well I have been real busy since my last post. I have a lot to show creativity wise that is, but far too much for one post. So I will be showcasing over three yes three consective posts. So here we go with the first. Apart from the first image shown all others in this post have a Gothic/ Halloween element to them. That time of year is nearly upon us again and I must say I am quite partial to the Dark side in my Digital Art. The Designers over at Deviant Scrap  have some Wonderfully Wicked Kits in the Store for all your Halloween Projects. So hop on over and have a look. The links to the kits I have used are below the artwork for your convenience if you want to check them out for yourselves. So here we go.............

Book of Secrets finished project work.

As mentioned in a previous post I have been undertaking another online workshop with the fabulous Andy Skinner. This time round it was his Book of Secrets Workshop. Playing with paint techniques to create a Steampunk style book with a hidden secret. I had so much fun with the techniques learnt I created not one but four pieces. I must say that Andy's classes are great fun. He is a Fabulous teacher with a wealth of knowledge. Nothing is too much trouble for this guy and his sense of humour has now become legendary in the forums. He's a real hoot and that's what I love about him. If you have chance to take one of his classes I can assure you that you will not be dissapointed. You will learn a great deal, be in very good company and make a lot friends along the way. Roll on the next class. I can't wait..................................Here's my creations. Enjoy.

Recent Creative Works

Just a quick post to catch up on my recent creative works. Marsha aka Tumblefish Studio has released two Fabulous new kits over @ Deviant Scrap. Summer Junque 1 &Summer Junque2. Delightfully vintage and a sweet colour pallette. I had a lot of fun with these two kits and I have a few more ideas up my sleeve, so I have not finished playing with these just yet!! Nancy aka Crowabout StudioB has released a delightfully wacky kit and it is just pure crazy. I love it. Aptly named Wacky Pack it is jammed full of elements and of course collage sheets for all you cut and pasters out there. So hop on over to Deviant Scrap and check these baby's out.

LIBERTY.
