Colour Create 25 - Blue, Sand, Silver and Black, CCT #73, Our Creative Corner, Allsorts, ABC

Hi everyone, a card today for our next challenge on Colour Create which this time is a combo of Blue, Sand, Silver and Black with an optional theme of Summer and our sponsor this week is Handy Hippo who have generously given 5 vouchers for 10% off any purchases made from their shop, even more reason to enter this time :). We have a new team member joining us, so a big welcome to Deanne who makes the most beautiful cards, it's lovely to have you with us Deanne! You'll be spoiled for inspiration from my DT friends this time, truly amazing cards from everyone.

I'm also entering this card for Cute Card Thursday where the challenge is 'At the beach', and Our Creative Corner where there's an inspiration challenge that fits with the colours I've used, Allsorts Challenge where the theme is vintage and as I've used lace and distressing I think it fits :), ABC challenge where it's the letter A and anything goes although I haven't used the option which is animals.

I've used a Kadoodle stamp 'ice cream days' for this card and she's watercoloured with distress inks and glittered with some stickles. Everthing is matted on black bazzil card doodled around the edges with a silver pen. The other layers are embossed with a cb swirls embossing folder, sanded then rubbed over with silver metallic paste. To decorate I added a gem swirl which I split so that I could have some at the top and some at the bottom, a rub on sentiment, some sand coloured lace and blue pearls. Hope everyone's blogger probs are sorted out now, I've been able to make a post today which is a relief and all the blogs I follow are back, hopefully it'll settle now until the next problem arises :D. Have a good day today. Chris x
