Purple and Green


Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new two-weekly challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Helen has chosen #260 Purple and Green,we look forward to your creations using these two colours. To see the creative inspiration by the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white curved card. I stamped the 'Bewitched' stamp by Pink Ink Designs, then blended two shades of Distress inks - yellow around the edges of the stamp, using a yellow Zig brush pen close to the stamps edges. I then used wo purple shades of DI's around the edges of the card. I used Promarkers and a few more Zig brush pens to complete the colouring. I stamped sprigs randomley and added with a glue pen sparkling white glitter to the tips of the twigs. Finally I used a glitter brush pen to the hat and parts of the green dress. The sentiment is on the stamp set and the gretting is from my stash. Have fun.

Pearly Sparkles October - Pumpkins or Autumn Leaves


Hello and welcome to my blog. Today at Pearly Sparkles our new challenge is 

Pumpkins or Autumn Leaves 

To see the inspiration from the design team please visit the blog. 

The background is created with matting cards, brown and yellow, cut smaller than the 6" white card.           The main design is an Autumn wreath created by stamping different shaped leaves with different ink colours. I used Tapestry/Majestic peg stamps. The inks were a mixture of Versamark and Distress Inks.  Black gems were added to each corner. Enjoy your challenge and Happy Autumn to you.
