Hello and welcome

Happy Saturday everyone. It’s time for a new challenge over at LIM. The challenge is to create using the theme: Colour Challenge – Black & Light Purple.

I had been playing with inking tissue paper and had done some a light purple, so it inspired my design.

First is was a matter of cutting circles from a piece of black and a piece of white cardstock. The white piece slightly larger.

From black card I cut on of my favourites – Memory Box – Shrewsbury Stem and Script Hello. Each were then heat embossed 4 times with clear embossing powder so they were raised and super shiney.

The tissue paper was added to the card front, before the adding the stems and card panels.

Finally the ‘hello’ was added at the bottom.

I love the way the soft pastel purple really helps the die cuts to ‘pop’!

Hello and welcome

We’re back with a new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers –  Anything Goes with Dies – June .   As always, anything goes in this challenge. So, I hope you’ll find time in  your busy life to join in the fun this month!

I started by cutting the stitched circles from the card front.

Then the sweet images from MFT – Otterly Love You set were stamped where the circles were on the back section. Then copic coloured.

The sentiment and MFT – banner die was also added.

It was then time to fill small clear sealeable bags with a little greenish coloured wet look hair gel, then sealed and attached on the background over the images.

Raised tape was added to support the card front before it was added.

I love the way the gel moves around and forms air bubbles as you touch the panel to resemble the otters playing in the water.

Time to head over to our blog to check out the great work by the rest of the Design Team!

I look forward to seeing what you create this month!

A huge thanks to everyone over at AAA Birthday for selecting my card in their TOP 4! Much appreciated!!
