Challenge #147 Harvest Colors Crafty Gals Corner challenge

I am writing this as little munchkins are traveling the streets looking for treats.  I LOVE Halloween!  I have since I was a kid myself.  Dressing up and pretending to be someone or thing is to this day something I enjoy.  So it is NO surprise that this weeks challenge is Harvest Colors.  But as always, lets see who our fantastic sponsor(s) are for this week.

Morgans Art World

Prize:  3 Digital Images

Have you recently looked at Morgans Art World shop?  It is simply amazing.  So many beautiful images to color.  I always get lost in creating cards in my head and want to purchase everything!  So THANK YOU Morgans Art World for being our sponsor this week.

So this week I have a image called Fae 37.  It's a mandala with a faery in the center and a beautiful border of leaves and flowers.  I colored the image using Sivo Vivid Colored Pencils.  Then cut out the circle and edged with gold ink.  The background is a paper I found years ago at Tuesday Morning.  It is a ColorBok product.  Next I rounded the corners of the background paper.  I had some left over leaves and trimmed them down.  Glued each leaf down.  I used some window foam that you use to block a draft to lift up the mandala.  It's sticky on one side only so I still needed to use my ATG.  Smacked that baby down found a sparkle for a corner and that's it.  Here is the finished product!

My Harvest Color Challenge inspiration!

Thank you so much for visiting.  The Crafty Gals team will be back on November 18 with another fabulous challenge.  So Happy Halloween!  Bright blessings, Jana

Challenge # 145 Use Halloween Colors

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Rhapsody on Paper.  Home of the Crafty Belles team for Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  I have another creative inspiration for the week.  First though, lets see who our fabulous sponsor(s) are for this challenge. 

OddBall Art Company

Make sure that you show some love to our sponsor this week.  Without sponsors, there would be no Crafty Gals Corner Challenges each week.  So thank you OddBall Art Company!!!

My image this week is Tiffany the Terrible.  I don't think she is so terrible.  She was a joy to color.  Since the challenge is use Halloween colors, I used tradition colors and more modern colors.  So here is my inspiration for this week.

It's that time of year, and time for decorating the house for Halloween.  For the past 39 years I have made sure that Halloween was up by Oct. 5th.  That is my daughters birthday.  So the tradition continues!

For this weeks creation our challenge is too add a bat.  How fun is this!!  But first, let me tell you about this weeks sponsor(s).

What a great sponsor!  I love working with these images.  Some are simple some are complex.  But all of them make me smile.  Head on over and show them some love.

This challenge I selected a very cute image called Lil Witch and Kitty.  Being that I send out a lot of Halloween cards I made 4 of them (and each one is a different color).  Here is what I came up with.

Here is the first one.  See the hair and the kitties ear and tail match!
