Welcome to my “other” blog! This blog will represent my other loves in the art world, along with cards. I will be posting my art journal and mixed-media projects. Other art that you will see will depict Steampunk, fantasy, Gothic, horror, anything that the word “alternative” encompasses. I hope you enjoy the ride with me!

New Challenge at Delicious Doodles


Happy Friday! Spring has finally arrived in Oklahoma. We are going to have a little cold snap this weekend, but not too bad. I feel like the entire US has been waiting on spring for a very long time.

We have a new challenge for you starting today at Delicious Doodles Challenge Blog. The theme is “Black with one other color.” Of course, I chose red to use with my black. No surprise there, huh?



This was a fairly clean and simple card to make. The image that I chose to color with Copics is “Malice.” I love Teri’s strong women illustrations! After the coloring was complete, Malice was layered on Stampin’ Up! cardstock in Real Red and Basic Black.

Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, R20
Hair: C1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Armor: R22, 24, 27, 29, 89, and
W1, 3, 5, 7
Eyes & Sword: W1, 3, 5, 7

The designer paper I used was also created by Teri. This set is called “Skull & Bones.” I think there are around three or four pages to this set. What is really awesome about Teri’s designer papers is that you can size them to the size you want, no trimming to size at all. After I trimmed the paper from the white cardstock, I mounted it on more of the black and red SU cardstock.



My corners were created from one of Spellbinder’s newest Die D-Lites, “Corner Flourish Two.” I am thrilled that Spellbinder’s have come out with these smaller dies, lots of fun to be had. I cut four corners and glued them down, mounted my central figure, Malice. For the final embellishment I added some gray flat-backed pearls to each corner.

I hope you join us for this current Delicious Doodles challenge. After you do, come join us at our Delicious Doodles Facebook group. There’s also a monthly challenge within the group. Now there’s two opportunities to win some yummy Delicious Doodles images.

Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions, please contact me.
