Well and truely out of my comfort zone!

Good Morning! Happy Saturday!

I hope you've had a lovely week and are ready to enjoy your weekend!

This is a scheduled post as I am currently on a coach somewhere in the UK travelling back from the Alfie Boe concert that I accompanied my mum to last night! I'm not really a fan, but mum wanted to go and so I said I'd go too!!

So.....I thought last week's challenge at My Time to Craft was difficult because I really don't many Easter images (I bet you are all sick of that cute little bunny now!!)....but when I saw the challenge this week I nearly fell of my chair!!

Our theme for this week is Gothic.....now as you can probably tell just from looking at my blog...I'm really not a gothic girl! I really had to think about what a gothic card would look like and resist the urge to add some pink!!

Here's what I came up with....
 
 
 
I've gone with a different sized/shaped card this week...not sure why...I just fancied a change! When looking through my Pollycraft images I came across this Steampunk image that I thought looked quite "gothic"....I then decided on my black, red and grey colour combo. I've coloured my image with my Promakers and then I decided to keep the background simple...using just plain black paper and that gorgeous red and white flowery paper. I think this hits the spot!

For more gothic inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and take a peek at all the gorgeous DT cards!

I'd also like the enter this card at:

    I think this card is great! We do need to 'step out' of our comfort zone sometimes and I'm always glad when I do... but that's after it is all over and done with.
    Fab job!

    Lol Wedgie I googled what a gothic card would look like, so you were not alone. Great card though, the image is perfect as are the colours.

    Hi Wedgie, looks wonderfully gothic to me! I'd would've been tempted to add pink as well!!!
