Lots of Challenges :)

OK can I just tell you that today's first card really lived up to the challenge of pleasure and pain???  LOL  The challenge I made this for is the:

Haunted Design House Macabre Monday Challenge - Pleasure & Pain

So the pleasure of this card was coloring the rather large Tiddly Inks image that I printed out, as I always love using these images.  The rest - a giant pain.  Here's the story:  first of all, I couldn't find any suitable DP for what I wanted to do - so I spent money on printable digi paper from Tiddly Inks that matched the card.  So the first pain was spending money.  hee hee  Then I decided to use silver accents - I really find eyelets a pain, so I went with them.  THEN I decided that because I was using silver, I wanted to try out some of the SU! Silver Smooch Spritz that I had never used yet... OMG WHAT A ROYAL PAIN!!!!  LOL  I didn't realize I had the cap off already and I was tugging and tugging and SPLAT!  Silver Smooch Spritz all over the back (thank God) of my already-colored image and my brand new light pink T-shirt (it came out in the wash just fine).  So after all that debacle, here's what I finally came up with:

Do you like?  I really like that Smooch Spritz stuff, but I admit I didn't realize it was this dark.  The big splotches were what bled through from my little, er, accident... hee hee  Then I spritzed the front lightly.  I just wanted to give it a darker, more gothic effect.  Anyway, the image is called Made For You and is colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I'm also entering it into the:

Tiddly Inks Challenge - Gothic or Dark Card

Next up - as a member of the Just Some Lines Design Team, I wanted to help promote our sponsorship of the challenge at:
Pile It On - Crooked Angles

So of course I had to make sure I piled on the challenges... so I'm also entering it into the following challenges:
Tuesday Throwdown #52 - Use an Animal

Cupcake Craft Challenges #145 - Things with Tails

Lollipop Crafts - Inspired by Song (the song I chose was "Stray Cat Strut" by the Straycats)


I used the Just Some Lines digital stamp Cat in a Hat 1, which you can find in the store here.  I colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  DP is from My Mind's Eye.  Gemstone stickies are from my stash.
