Trick-or-treat paper dolls created by Patti Robinson... these Gothic girls received a makeover and some slightly creepy friends for my Goth-tober challenge! There are still a few days left, plenty of time to link up your gothic creations. They can be spooky or sweet, dark or just slightly off-kilter ~ as we get closer to Halloween, anything goes for Gothic!

The DT is working with a couple of favorites Lunagirl collage sheets: Edwardian Gothic and Medieval Gothic, plus some NEW Gothic Fairy Wings and Victorian Gothic backgrounds that I've recently added. Later this month you may see some Halloween witches...

When you look at all of the DT inspiration for this challenge, notice how Corinne has used this same evocative face in several different works of art... I love that!

October Challenge Theme: GOTHIC

In October the leaves get more colorful but the mood turns a little darker as we move into the darker skies, shorter days, and reflective, pensive, bittersweet feeling of Autumn... and of course it's time to be thinking of Halloween and all things spooky. So for this month I thought we would do the theme of GOTHIC.

I like to pick themes that can be interpreted in different ways and inspire everyone to find their own interpretation. The Design Team has gotten us off to a wonderful start, as always, with their inspiration below.

The DT is working with a couple of favorites Lunagirl collage sheets: Edwardian Gothic and Medieval Gothic, plus some NEW Gothic Fairy Wings and Victorian Gothic backgrounds that I've recently added. Later this month you may see some witches appear... 

If you need ideas or inspiration for this theme, here are more digital collage sheets with "Gothic" themes to take a look at. Gothic can be dark, mysterious, spooky, creepy, steampunk, medieval, sorrowful, shady, moody, shadowy, or all of the above!

I can't wait to see what you create ~ link up your entries below.

VINTAGE GOTHIC blog challenge

Something a little different.... our next blog challenge theme is Vintage Gothic.  I've always been fond of all things a little dark and melancholy, mysterious and antique, whether haunted rooms or haunted lovers.  As a kid my favorite song was "Rhiannon" (yes, I date myself with that). I liked sad romances and spooky old photos and film noir. I had fun creating my take on Vintage Gothic with the challenge badge.  I hope you'll have fun with this theme, too, however you interpret it!

The Design Team will be working with images from the following collage sheets (and they're also the source for the images I used above):  Lunagirl Edwardian Gothic, Vintage Gothic, and Backgrounds: Interiors.  You can also visit my Gothic and Medieval category for inspiration -- and be sure to use Discount Code "moonbeams" at checkout to get 10% off everything in Gothic/Medieval!

Here are the guidelines for this challenge:

• This challenge (#28) will end at Noon (Central Time) on June1. 
• Any craft or medium is OK,
• No more than 3 entries from one person in each challenge, 
• Vintage style is encouraged, and 
• Please link to this blog and Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.
• Prize:  The winner will be selected randomly to win a $10 coupon for Lunagirl.com! 

• Of course I love if you use at least one Lunagirl.com product, and I hope you'll go take a look at my collection... but that's not a requirement!  
• However, if you use a Lunagirl image, you will be entered TWICE in the drawing! I want to welcome everyone and every style but also give a little something extra to my wonderful customers!
