Susan's Challenge #5 Close Up

Good morning everyone!! Today I'm going to share the details of my Challenge #5 Card:







For this one I used  Rang Climbing, which you can find at The East Wind Etsy Shop. I love these kitty images :)  I kept the card all black and white. I popped two of the small kitties and then the larger one as well. I added the white Candi at the bottom. I also added two gems on the side of the sentiment. The sentiment was created on my pc. No coloring on this one.

Crafting Vicky - Humour challenge project

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a card that I did for the new challenge over at The East Wind Challenge.  Our challenge for you this time is Humour!  So it's time to share with us your twisted sense of humour or sarcasm or just plain funny :)

I used the great image Lucy Loo Heart Lips for my card and paired it with a sentiment from Ginger house.  I thought it was perfect for this and pretty humorous.

I used some paper from Rockstar stack by DCWV.  I added some chipboard from DCWV.  I added some Robin's nest dew drops.  I added a skull brad from eyelet outlet.  I also added another skull from my stash... yeah... I have a few lol

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics.  I don't know why but she calls for me to use lots of pink in her hair!!!

Isn't she just fabulous?!  I really adore Lucy Loo she has such a great attitude to create edgier cards!!!

Hope you have liked this little card and you will be inspired to play with us!!!!!

Have a great crafting day!!!

Hugs

Challenge #5 Use Humour - Maureen's DT Project

Hi there fellow The East Wind Fans! We have a fabulous challenge on the go and would love for you to show us your sense of humour in your creation this fortnight - you can enter here!

Here is the card that I made using the fabulous Lucy Loo 'Love Me' image. I have to explain a bit about the sentiment! I live in Scotland and one of our most iconic drinks is 'Irn Bru' and they like to push the boundaries with their advertising. A few years ago the slogan 'Cheer Up Goth, Have an Irn Bru' was used and I wanted to do my take on it! 

I have hand written the sentiment due to a lack of time but I think it works! I have coloured Lucy with Promarkers and used some blue papers from my stash to match.

The card is finished with some black organza ribbon and black card candi.

I am looking forward to seeing your sense of humour shine through on your creations for this challenge! Go on, make us laugh!

Challenge #5 Humour - Wiola's DT project

Here's my card for the humour challenge.

I made fun of the cliché to follow your dreams. The text is written with the Garden font and reads: "Follow your dreams... except for that one where you go to work naked/where you are being chased by black hairy spiders/where you are being trapped in a tiny box." You have dreams at night too, and many of those you probably shouldn't follow. Lol. 

You can find the angel stamp that I've used here in the East Wind shop.

Bettina's humour project

We have a fun challenge over at The East Wind for this round. Create something with a sense of humour in it. This can be shared in our challenge post over here. My image is called Ghetto Fabolous Ashley signature pose and is coloured with my belowed promarkers. Here she is:

and a little closing in on the image: 

I've used my Go Kreate dies for the shape and some design papers from a Norwegian paper company. My other diecuts are from La La Land,(crown) Marianne Design(oval shape) and Memory box (notes). I've used a sentiment from TLC and some gems from stash. Hope you have a fab saturday. 

Why, yes...Art journal Spread for the Humour Challenge

Hello everyone! It's Bonnie here today with more details about my response to the new TEW challenge which  is Humour.  I decided to play in my art journal, creating a spread featuring Lucy Loo Being Lucy because I've been wanting to colour her for a while. Her fabulous attitude makes me smile. I coloured her with Prismacolor pencils giving her funky pink and yellow hair and purple lipstick. The little zipper teeth in her hair ornament were inked in with a Silver Jelly Roll pen for the shine. Lucy Loo was fussy cut, and the white edges were inked with a Black Big Brush pen. She was popped up on foam tape and set aside out of the range of my messy mixed media process.

The two journal pages were given a liberal coat of Studio 490 black embossing paste applied with a palette knife. While it was still wet, gauze pads were unfolded and then twisted or folded the long way. These were crisscrossed over the pages to mimic the look of Lucy Loo's wrappings in the image. Next, black zippers with silver metal teeth were also adhered across the pages. These are a reference to the zipper in Lucy's hair ornament. It also creates an edgy feel to the background which suits the image and the page concept.

The specimen labels and experiment log are downloads from Vectoria Designs...love her stuff! I had this vision of Lucy being created or re-created in a mad scientist's lab so the labels and log fit that notion.

The log was given extra kraft paper pages behind the cover and all were machine stitched to look more like a notebook.

The sentiments came next. Why yes,... comes from Create with TLC and I imagine Lucy pausing and saying that in answer to someone's silly question. Looking for trouble and Wanna play doctor were computer generated and printed on white cardstock which was torn or cut into fishtail flags and inked with Vintage Photo. All were popped up on foam tape.

To continue with the edgy look, I added more metal bits.The safety pins which I imagine the mad scientist keeps handy for gauze emergencies, the spider bead, the star sequins, and lens all help to scatter the metal about and lend continuity to the design. The resin hand and the bug under glass further the specimen theme.

At this point, Lucy's hair was the only pink on the page which created a jarring effect. I added the two pink mulberry roses along with the checked button to repeat the flower and button in her hair decoration and bring that bit of pink to the top and right. The small metal arrow was given three small pearls before it was added to the bottom of the page, completing the visual triangle. A little doodling on the one set of sentiments, some scattered dot stamping on the paper elements, and the pages were complete. A little dark humour to start your day...lol.

We would love to see your humourous projects and hope that you'll join us for TheEastWind Challenge 5. Thanks for visiting today.

Bonnie
