Our new Macabre Monday challenge at the Haunted Design House blog is "Pleasure and Pain" In other words, we want you to incorporate something you love and something you hate into your project this week.
The image is by The Octopode Factory, and the quote is of course by Queenie in Blackadder.
My "pleasures" in this piece are: working digitally; Octopode images; generating my own sentiments; having the image bursting out of the frame. My "pain" is white space. Yup, lots of pleasure and just a little bit of pain in mine, because that's so much more fun than the other way around :P I've just recently become more comfortable with clean and simple designs, but I ALWAYS use a background colour instead of leaving it white. White just feels wrong to me. I still want to flood this piece with a dark bg, but if I start to subvert challenge pieces then Barb will introduce me to a whole LOT of pain :P
Here are the challenges I'd like to enter:
Clean and Simple Sunday - sketch
Sketchy Colours - red green and white
Paper Sundaes - let's get sentimental
Crafty Emma's Store Challenge - clean and simple
I Did It Creations - hats (does a crown count?)
Fab n Funky - anything goes

For having no background papers this looks very striking and wonderful. You really kicked butt with this one x
I agree! My "white" space is rarely white! Thank you for joining the Clean & Simple Sunday Challenge.
I rarely use white as well. But your card looks great. Thanks for playing at IDIC. Kind of a stretch with the crown but A for effort:)
I also have a fear of white. I don't think I've ever made a white card. Hmmm.
Fabulous card Susan!
I love this card Susan, It's really really great, but I do know what you mean, I always feel white spaces are just screaming to be filled with something.........anything!!!
Wow, this is awesome! You might not like white space, but it sure likes you!

I must say that fab image does POP with all that white space. Gorgeous! LOve the sentiment, too. Having a little drinkie is one of my supreme pleasures. LOL xxD
