Skeleton Queen Betty

So I decided to go on a totally different tangent for this take of the Skeleton Queen Betty digi http://simplybstamps.net/item_3437/Skeleton-Queen-Betty-Digi.htm and try something a little unhalloween, oh no I can hear the cries of outrage already.......

I have gone for a more elegant version that could be used for other occasions eg birthday, graduation etc to show you the versatility of Bettys images....

Colour combos
Skin - E04 E11 E21 E00 E000 R20 Eyeshadow BG02
Hair - BV29 BV25 BV23
Dress - BG09 BG07 BG05 BG01 B000 C5 N3 N1
Eyes - BG07 BG01

I hope I have inspired you to try something a little different with your images.

Cheers and Happy Halloween

Eye Candy - Madame Betty

When Betty first released these gorgeous Voodoo Teens I fell in love with them and couldn't wait to get my hands on Madame Betty http://simplybstamps.net/item_3426/Madame-Betty-Digi.htm with her glowing ball to have a go at her but those pesky things called bills got in the way.
At last I have had a chance to create with her and loved it.....

Colour combos
Skin - E04 E11 E21 E00 E000
Hair - E49 E25 E21 YR31
Scarf/Overskirt/Bangle - B39 B34 B32 B000
Dress - V09 V06 V04 V01
Bag - E37 E33 E31
Bat - N3 N1
Ball/Glow RV55 RV52 R00

I have also had a go for the first time with a stencil and ink - I used the Tim Hotlz Shatter stencil and Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke. Loving this stencil it reminds me of spider webs.

Cheers, Thanks for visiting and Happy Halloween

State Girls Set 3

The last couple of weeks I have just not had the mojo to want to colour, I just look at an image and nothing comes to mind and to tell the truth it was starting to get on my nerves as I find my colouring and crafting as the best stress relief.

Then I came across the challenge Betty from Simply B Stamps put up with her new state girls and it was just what I needed to get me back into gear, you can check out the challenge here.... http://simplybstamps.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/new-release-and-some-sales.html

So anyway playing it safe with colour choices wasn't going to cut it if I wanted to get the creativity flowing again so I pushed myself to use colours I don't normally use, and yes I know you are thinking how was I going to win the challenge if I did something I wasn't used to but at the end of the day I wasn't particularly worried about the winning and more about getting the mojo back and anyway as a subscriber I get all the images anyway (best thing I ever did was subscribing) and even though it would be amazing to have my work feature in Bettys store we will wait and see....

Onto the images first up Miss Florida

Here I tried a darker skin and hair to normal for me and a nude lip colour. Not sure I like the nude lip and I think the darker skin needs a bit of practice before I am converted but I gave it a shot.

Next up Ohio State Cheerleader

 

 

This one isn't quite so far from my normal so I am happy with this one, I just tried a different combo for blue and yellow and tried really hard to get some good shading in the feathers (well I am hoping that is what they are)

 

 

Onto Amy Arkansas

 

 

 

 

Here I tried for an iridescent fabric on her dress and a really pale blonde hair, I am pretty happy with both these so will definitely do them again. The gems I have tried to give them a multi coloured tone with was a task all on its own.

 

And last but not least Maine Mermaid

 

 

 

Here I have tried for a shimmery tail and a hair colour inspired from here home in the sea, and also I have tried for paler skin. I really love how this image has come up and think she is by far my favourite from this set.

 

While all my experiment may not a turned out 100% perfect I am really happy I gave it a shot and tried something a little different on all of them..

 

Anyway thanks for looking and don't forget to pop over and get your own state girls set 3.
