Let The Challenges Commence

Getting back into the swing of blogging, I was well and truly ready for my first challenge.  Loving all things alternative (ok and some cute too) I came across the challenge blogs for Left Of Center and Dream In Darkness..........which is right up my street.  The theme for L O C this week is "Black and White With One Colour" and D I D is "Anything Goes".

Also being a promarker girl, I see that this weeks theme on Passion For Promarkers is "Come Fly With Me" which just so happens to suit my chosen image perfectly.  What more can a girl ask?

So without further ado I shall reveal my card..................

As ever, my favourite style card to work with is square, this one is 8 x 8.  I've applied some simple matting and layering in the chosen colour scheme and embellished the card with ribbons, feathers, sticky pearls and paper flowers.

The image I've chosen is "Zelda the Zombie Fairy" from "The Goblyn Workshop".  Promarkers used were Black, Cool Grey 5,4 & 3, True Blue, Azure and Flexmarkers Egyptian Blue and Antique White.

I always like to decorate the inside of my cards too, and this one was no exception.  I used the same dotty card as on the front then die cut a few spider webs and a nestie, ready for someone to write their own greeting.

As with most of my cards now I tend not to put a sentiment on them.  I usually squirrel them away until the right occasion presents itself and then I apply the sentiment to the front.  You can see I've left plenty of space in the bottom left corner for this.

Well I hope you've enjoyed looking just as much as I enjoyed crafting...........see you soon xx
