Cute v. Creepy

Left of Center Challenges


Here's my DT inspiration for the current LOC challenge
"Cute v. Creepy"


 I started thinking about using the same image in two similar cards -
 in a cute AND a creepy way.

I started off by scoring and folding two identical red Christmas red card bases.


I recently found some lovely handmade papers in a local market 
- I matted each base with a piece of each.



The digi I used was  Meljens Designs North Pole Critters.
 I printed this twice and coloured the images with Promarkers choosing different shades for each image.


I embossed some cardstock from my scraps in embossing folders -
 a Cuttlebug Christmas tree and a Stampin Up spider web


I then did some more matting and layering, and found some embellishments in my 'bit box',
to make these:

  
I hope you think that one is creepy...


and this one is cute!

I am linking this last card to
12 Days of Christmas
and CHNC February extra

Hope you will join us at Left Of Center Challenges!

Happy Crafting!

    What an amusing way to use the North Pole Critters image Sue! Great fun and a clever idea to use two different 'treatments! :) (...might have to nick that idea.... ;) !)
    Lovely work!
