Charmed Stamping: The Corrosive Challenge #157

"Near them their sisters three, the Gorgons, winged
With snakes for hair— hated of mortal man—"

Myth and Magic. A few of my favorite things! This fortnight The Corrosive Challenge dares you to let your imagination roam and create a project focusing on the mystical, magical, mythical. Fairies, dragons, wizards, goddesses, unicorns... If it's fantastical, we want to see it for our "Myth and Magic" challenge!

We have a fabulous new sponsor for September, Delicious Doodles!

Owner/artist Teri Sherman has a shop full of amazing images just perfect for this challenge! And not only has she generously offer four digis of choice to our monthly winner, but she also shared a few of her images with the team for us to use on our projects. Since I'm a fan of Teri's anyway, I had a variety to choose from. I selected Medusa's Daughter for my card. I have a "thing" for the woman with the writhing hair. She is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. And I added just a dab of sparkle to her eyeshadow.

Those snakes were fun to color, let me tell you! I cut the image out with my Labels Twenty-Three Nestablities die from Spellbinders. Paper is DCWV - Blossom Song. The "snake skin" texture is a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I added seam binding (a gift which arrived in the mail yesterday from my sweet and generous teammate, Kathy of Will Stamp For Wine - thank you, Kathy), flowers, and jewel brads to my card. The sketch is from Sketches by Carly (#64).

Be sure to head over to The Corrosive Challenge to see what magical creations the rest of the design team has conjured up! And I hope you'll play along for your chance to win the Delicious Doodles prize as well as the opportunity to be our guest designer for October!

It's a long holiday weekend here so I'll be off to a family cookout later. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Sunday!

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, E13, E15, E17, R20, Y35, Y38, YG93, YG95, YG97) and Prismacolor Art Markers (124).
