Forever Dark DT shares for our July Challenge!

Howzit Friends!
We've had some unfortunate setbacks to our Forever Dark Challenge blog that launched with our 1st Challenge in June but we're back without much of a hiccup.  Nothing else has changed besides our blog name, from Forever Dark Challenges to Forever Dark 2 and new challenges still start on the 1st Tuesday of every month!

Now for our July Challenge #2 Anything Goes!   
We have THREE fabulous sponsors this month and it was a pleasure to get to create with the images they provided us with!  Thank you so much sponsors!

  I'm sharing two of my projects here featuring Kenny K and Lacy Sunshine and my 3rd project can be found on my DominoART Blog so I hope you'll pop on over to see it :0)
Featuring Trixie Treat by Kenny K
Here's Trixie coloured with Copics and the background is done with Derwent Pastel pencils and a Dove blender pen and she was printed onto Neenah solar white cardstock.  I just adore her, she's so gorgeous! 
I used a Spellbinders Deckle edge die to die cut her out and then applied Pumice Stone Distress Ink to the edges.  I used my Perfect Layers tools to cut the border mats and make the black folded card base.  I just wanted to feature this beautiful girl and keep my embellies simple so just added two paper flowers and the 3 self adhesive pearls. 
Lacy Sunshine stamps - Puzzle Fairy
 My 2nd project features Lacy Sunshine's Puzzle Fairy.  She's a real cutie, I just love her puzzle wings, totally up my alley coz of my passion for altered game art!  Here she is coloured with Copics and Pastel pencils.  Click on the photo to see her better.  But as my project is for our Forever Dark challenge I needed to grunge her up a bit with Peeled Paint Distress Ink and gave her a little bit of "attitude"!  Beware the cuties, they have sharper teeth!
 I actually printed her out twice and coloured her wings and the background on one and her entire image on the 2nd but changed my mind on what I was going to do with her so she's layered on top of the 1st with pop dots for dimension.  The background is a jigsaw puzzle die cut with a Cuttlebug puzzle die and I edged all the pieces with a black marker and added metallic purple faux stitching...which you would have seen more of if I'd stuck to my original plan but I didn't have what I needed at the time.  Anyway, I adhered all the pieces to a black mat and layered onto dark red cardstock and also matted the single separate puzzle piece on red and fussy cut it out.  The sentiment I wrote by hand.  

So don't forget to check out my other project on DominoART and I'll see you over at Forever Dark Challenges!
Happy Stamping!

 Here's my 1st Smeared and Smudged DT project for today!  I've got another one on my DominoART blog plus 3 more on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity blog which just happen to be your are next 2 stops today!


I used Smeared Ink's rubber stamps on this one.  I decided to pull out my stash of marble background papers created with the shaving cream technique and artists inks in shades of red and grey, I also added Vanilla Smooch Spritz to the marble paper to give it a magical shimmer.  I stamped the skellie for the focal point onto the marble paper with black Memento Ink, trimmed and layered it onto black cardstock and cut the border with my favourite Perfect Layers tools by Perfect Paper Crafting (use my special code LBrunton to get 10% off your entire order).  The large ink splatter background was stamped on white cardstock with Fired Brick and Black Soot Distress Inks and then more Black Soot ink was applied with a foam ink applicator and then adhered to a black mat .  The main panel was embellished with a winged skellie charm and mounted on the background with black foam dots and then I added the self adhesive grey pearls on all 4 corners.

a closer look at the details
Here's some sneaky peeks at my 3 LCD DT projects made for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity part of the SAD hop!  Today is also the start of our 1st Skellie-Fest event that runs through to June 18th with a $20 gift certificate to spend at Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda!
Don't forget to return after the hop and play to win!
