Time for another challenge over at
A three week challenge this time as our next challenge is going to be a blog hop - great news as you now have an extra week to enter this challenge :)
#9 Anything Goes
We are onto the second week of our three week challenge so there is still plenty of time for you to enter and win the fabulous prize of $15 to spend in the IKEsWORLD store. To win the prize or be voted in the top 3 you MUST use and IKEsWORLD digi, lots to choose from so why not pop on over to the shop and have a look around.For this weeks creation and still trying to use some of the 'darker' digis :) I opted for a digi I have loved for a long time but not dared to use - Angels and Demons. My poor family are the recipients of my darker efforts this year so it will be interesting to see their reactions. Now talking about good planning, this is going to be my eldest daughters birthday card for 2015 (hope I don't lose it before then hahahahahaha)
I used black card, added a layer of green paper then the background which I had designed with the text in the position I needed. Now I should say, Natasha is always lovely, but I know she has a really naughty streak in her so I hope she will have a laugh when she sees this, then no doubt a really honest comment will be coming my way afterwards :) :) :) Next I fussy cut the digi as I wanted a 3d effect, this once completed was attached with foam tape. I coloured the digi with Promarkers then had a bit of fun. The wings, once coloured had Extreme glitter added along the gone structures and then were embossed with clear embossing powder to give a plastic feel. The hair is some coloured extensions I have at hand (yep I like coloured extensions in my own hair <g>) unfortunately I couldn't get it to curl properly following the gorgeous locks the digi has but I think it looks OK. Next I used a feather for the angels wings which I cut up - you should have seen the mess I was in with bits of extension hair and feather cut offs flying around, sticking to my fingers, attached to the double sided tape, up my nose - just everywhere lol. Finally I added some black tulle behind the digi, buttons in the corners and gold Stickles to make headbands on both heads then placed the digi on the card.
