Good Morning, all!(Sorry I'm late with this post - my camera & I were not getting along!)
Anyway, today's card is slightly more...morbid...than was intended. It all started with Ms. October's challenge to use black, green, orange and/or purple....Which made me think I better use Bombshell's Pirate, and turn her into a witch using the Holiday Accessory set...meanwhile, my father-in-law was watching some show about serial killers, and 'Maneater' by Nelly Furtado was stuck in my head....and then I remembered the pile of bones in the Accessory set...and...well, that card is the result. I think I'll send this card to my bff...I'm not sure her hunny will see the humor in it, but that's beside the point! I also slipped this in as my entry for the Paperworks Co Ultimate Craft Challenge #4.
Now...go check out the other Bombshells, and remember to leave your love - every comment gains you an entry into this month's draw!

Ok, so her ears are a little screwy, but hey, I never said I could draw! (LOL) I also added in her tail & boots; all added items are shiny & sparkly, thanks to the Copic Spica pens! She's been put on a handmade notebook; if anyone cares to know how I made it, I might consider doing a tutorial in the future.
You can't see it very well, but there's a strip of black glittery cardstock, punched with a border punch that's placed behind her, just for a little extra 'somethin-somethin'. The notebook itself uses my pleather that I found in the remnant bin the other day - WOO HOO! (Which reminds me - I need to get my butt back to the fabric store tomorrow to see if they have more!)
I also stamped the compass image randomly on the background piece in Antique Linen, and I used one of the Cuttlebug border folders (3 times) on the long strip; it made me think of chain. I added three brads on the left side of the strip, in the centre of each circle. To finish up, I inked absolutely all of the edges with both Antique Linen & Walnut Stain. The banner & compass are both on pop dots, to give the card a little dimension.
Silly Lily in her swing... Sticking her tongue out at her fish. This was interspersed with sneezing, giving her ducky Shaken Duck Syndrome, 'talking' and blowing spit bubbles. I can't believe she's almost 3 months old already!!!!!
I added the little martini glass, too - this Bombshell is very easy to alter into holding something! 
You can't really see it, but there's mesh on the bottom half of the centre piece, under the ribbon ruffles. It just adds a sexy little touch! I used a Sakura Glaze pen on her shoes, too - it gives them a 'patent leather' look. 
For the Farm Fresh Friday challenge, you were to use sewing - which I am horrible at! (You can actually see some practice stitching on the white bg paper the card is sitting on - lol) I guess, though, for someone who's never touched a sewing machine prior to this past Monday, I think I'm doing all right!
For this one, I coloured The Greeting Farm's 
You can't see the music notes very well, but they are clear embossed on the black background... The CD was a 'Happy Accident' that I had while trying to make the circles the sketch actually calls for... I decided it looked pretty cool with Edward (who is supposed to look black & white) sitting on top of it. The flowers used to be white...until my Copics got hold of them...and those little wooden red hearts were in a huge package at the dollar store - oooohhhh, yeah! The flowers are actually quite sparkly IRL, too - the darkest parts on them are actually done with a Silver Atyou Spica pen.
I think it turned out pretty funky... let's see if it's a winner!
