Hello, Bloggers!  Today, I am sharing my very first project as a DT member for Forever Night Challenges -- where creepy meets creative!  This week, we are featuring digi's from Dilly Beans Stamps.  Megan over at Dilly Beans Stamps has some really unique stamps in that they are a great combo of creepy and cute!  Please be sure to check out her site!

For my project, I chose to work with this cute witch.  I colored her with Copics.  I'm definitely not an expert at coloring yet, but I am having fun practicing!  I think I would have liked to shade the hat a little differently, but maybe that's just me being overly critical of my work.  LOL

Now, over at Forever Night Challenges, the emphasis is more on creepy rather than cutesie, so I made sure to pair the image with some paper that wasn't too bright or cute.  I chose to use Echo Park's Apothecary Emporium.

I also used the same paper to line the inside of the card.  I don't always line the inside of my cards, but I'm trying to get into the habit of doing it more often!  The sentiment was computer-generated and says "Witching you a Happy Birthday!"  I was thinking this would be the first of my handmade birthday cards for the year, but my teenager said she wanted to save it for one of her friends who has an October birthday.  Oh, well ... guess my birthday card count for the year is back to zero.  LOL!

Before signing off, I wanted to share this cute avatar assigned to me over at Forever Night Challenges:  

We were allowed to choose from a bunch of avatars, and when I saw this one, I knew I had to pick it!  The avatar is a representation of Jack Skellington from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas".  If you're familiar with the movie, you'll know that it's really not scary at all.  In fact, Jack Skellington (the main character in the movie) is my fifteen-year-old's FAVORITE character of all time.  So, I thought it was only fitting that I pick this avatar.  

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog today!  I really appreciate all the comments I get; and, please -- if you have any questions on any of my projects, please feel free to ask!  Thanks and have a great day!
