Guest spot at The Octopode Factory challenge!

I'm very happy to be doing a guest spot at http://toffchallenge.blogspot.com/

The challenge this week is Shades of Grey - I used one of the very original and quirky digis from The Octopode Factory, available here - http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheOctopodeFactory



He's called Halloween Headless Spectre and I love his whole attitude!  I coloured him with Copic warm and cool greys (sorry I can't list them but I'm never that organised!) and then made the card up with one of my own ticket sentiments, die cut spiderweb corners using the Silhouette and some background papers I printed myself after doing an image search - making sure I inked all the edges up pretty well!

Here's a close-up -


If you havn't already paid a visit to this digi store, I really recommend you do so soon.  Lily (The designer)  has some really great designs that are very different and a lot of fun!

Also pop over to the challenge blog and check out the rest of the great designs - thanks so much for popping in :-)

Oh my. This is fantastic! I love the image and love how you colored it! The spider web almost makes me want a digital cutter.

What a fantastic Guest Design piece! I LOVE the Warm and Cool Gray Copics you used on the image (I never list mine either...it's hard enough to keep them organized while coloring nevermind trying to remember which is which after the fact! :)). The spider webs and background papers add so much interest to your design. I truly enjoy all of your fabulous Octopode creations!
