Colour Create 33 – Lavender/Purple, Aqua, White, Black

<KENOX S860  / Samsung S860>

Hi everyone, our new challenge on Colour Create is a lovely combo of Lavender/Purple, Aqua, White and Black chosen by my lovely DT friend Deanne, such a pretty choice Deanne, thanks very much. There’s no optional extra for this challenge so it’s the colours and whatever you like. As always the girls have some amazing cards for the challenge so I hope you can pop over for a look and join us. Our sponsor for this challenge is Michelle’s Scrapbooking and there are two lovely stamps as the prize.

My card is a straightforward one, I had in mind to make a batch of these……………yeah, right! I’ve cut out the Christmas tree shape from an SVG file on the Cricut which is made to fit the Cuttlebug christmas tree embossing folder. The die cut was then embossed with the folder and I also cut a mat layer from black card and sponged the edges with white ink. The background is more white card embossed with the Cuttlebug snow embossing folder and I’ve finished off with lots of stickles in blue and lilac/purple, some bows, a toile bow and some gems. Think I would have liked this better if I’d left it white as I sprayed the white card with pearl glimmer mist so it’s nice and sparkly without anything else, a shame it doesn’t show in the photo. I’m also entering this into the Cuttlebug Challenge where the theme this week is glitter, Daring Cardmakers where the challenge is white Christmas, hope I can get away with this, my card is mainly white :) and SCSC has a theme of Christmas trees. TFL.

Rosebuds

Hi everyone, a card today for the Cuttlebug Challenge where this week the challenge is to make a simple white card. I couldn't quite manage to make it completely white I'm afraid and luckily some of the DT cards have colour in them so hopefully this will qualify. I've used one of my own designs entitled 'Rosebuds' soon to be available as a digi-stamp from my download site which will be opening soon. The image is marker coloured cut and embossed with a large oval nestie and layered on a scalloped nestie cut from Lilac Bazzil card. I've mounted the image on dimension tape over the cuttlebug embossed panels, I think it looks a bit like a cake which is quite nice as it's for a birthday. The panels and card blank have been sponged on the edges with Milled Lavendar distress ink and to decorate I punched some butterflies, embossed them with the swiss dots folder, sponged and stickled. Added the ribbon and gems to finish. TFL.

Materials:
Paper: White and Lilac Bazzil card
Stamp: Sketching stamper digi-stamp
Colouring: Promarkers
Embellishment: Cuttlebug embossing folders, swirls and swiss dots, stardust stickles, pm gems, lilac satin ribbon, Milled lavender distress ink, sponges

Christmas Tree

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a good weekend. I've been making Christmas cards using a cuttlebug embossing folder which are nice and quick when making a few together and I now have nine of them made up. I've varied the mat layer on them, either red, silver or gold and also the colour of stickles and liquid pearls. This card is on a gold layer and highlighted with gold stickles and an ivory bow. TFL.

Back soon,
Chris
