I love the use of washi tape for the background and the blingy earrings, such a fun ATC x

The colouring of the image is superb & the chosen embellishments, are in keeping with the theme of the piece, add interest & dimension, & despite being brightly coloured do not take away from the digistamp as the main focus.

Here are what the Design Team had to say about the entries:

StampinAngelJenn #3 - Love the layout, the papers are fabulous, great coloured image, awesome embellishments and love the sentiment! All round fabby card!
I love Jenn's subtle spiders, and the way her Oddball girl is kind of looking up at them

#4 Susan Says - Faaabulous vivid colors and the sentiment that made me smile and so  recognise that feeling

#6 Paper Whims - Love the image...bloody tears, and awesome spider!
The colours and angles are brilliant and the bright elements works wonderfully with the dark image.

 

#7 - Paper Whims - Love the Kraft card with the black. The spiders backing is brilliant with the wonderful Webveil Image.

 

#8 Paper Whims - Love the spiderweb earrings! Super background and love all the texture.

Great look of texture in the backing, makes you want to touch the make as well as look at it.

 

#9 Judy Dewitt - Love the TH embossing folder with added Distress Inks - and that huge collection of creepy spiders!

 

#10 Paper Whims - Love the pretty colours with the gothic/dark image and elements. Works really well together.

Challenge #68 - Big Eyes with Dilly Beans

Good Morning! A big thanks to those who braved last week's 'Spider' challenge! Look out for Monday's post with details of the winner! Now on to today's new challenge. We have the fabulous Dilly Beans as our generous sponsor this week and I'm sure you will love what the LOC Crew have created to inspire you this week.

The theme is 'Big Eyes' which obviously goes rather well with the Dilly Beans images as you're about to see. However, you don't have to use a sponsor image to play along, dig out your images with big eyed boys, girls, animals... or indeed, show us your darker side and go LOC!
