Through The Purple Haze - #27

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I am so excited today as it's my birthday & today I'll be the proud owner of a new melt pot, yippeeee & to top it all off I'll have a cameo in the next few days too, oh this year is looking good so far :)

To keep me in good mood I am happy to say it's the turn of team A to bring you projects & loveliness for 

Through The Purple Haze

& this week we are sponsored by

Sassy Studio Designs

& the lucky winner will get to choose 4 digis from the store, good hey.

So, our theme this week is

"Love Is In The Air"

& here is my make

I got to play with this fab image called "French Maid"

I decided to make an easel card as I haven't made one in a long time & I wanted the image to pop. My DP is from Papermania. The red & black card were offcuts from my bit box. I die cut a heart & stamped onto it in black memento

I ran some silver mirror card through an embossed folder & cut out some of the hearts, I think they look a little like charms. I used peel offs for my sentiment

My image was coloured with my, now complete except for limited edition, promarkers. I used all the Cool Greys & Black. Her skin is my go to combo of Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush & Baby Pink

The reds I used were Burgundy, Cardinal Red & Ruby. I added highlights of glitter to the shoes

& there ya have it.

Just Inspirational Challenges - February challenge.

Good morning everyone & happy Saint Brigid's day to you all :) I'm sure all my Irish friends will remember making the crosses in school lol. Anyway, enough of my rambling, it's time for the start of another monthly challenge from

Just Inspirational Challenges

This month we are sponsored by 

Crimson Cloud

& our theme is

Carnival

I had such a hard time deciding what direction to go with my project.

I knew I wanted to create my own backgrounds & as I had been shopping at my fav craft shop I had just the stamps I wanted to use. I started off with a black card base, I stamped the edges with my stamp & versamark & dusted mica powder over it. For my red panel, I used fired brick distress ink & flicked some water droplets onto it before soaking it up with some kitchen paper, I love the effect this gives (even if I did end up covering most of it with my image) 

I used the same stamp that I used on the base & this time stamped it in memento black ink. I used templates to cut out my ticket shapes & again inked them with distress inks. I then over stamped them with some more of my new stamps :)

My image was coloured with my promarkers (oooohhhhh & today I finally completed the collection, so now it's onto Flex markers, no wonder I never have any money lol) & I cut it into an oval & matted it onto more black. She's a retired image from Sassy Studio Designs but do stop by as there are so many fab images there.

I die cut & rolled my roses, dipped them in glue & then red or silver fine glitter. I cut some leaves out too & then assembled my card. I finished off with a flat back black pearl from my stash.

I'll add the stamps I used & where I got them below, as I know some of you will love them as much as me :)

I decided to give it a bit of a vintage look & stay away from the traditional love colours.

My background has been stamped in distress inks onto cream cardstock. I then matted it onto brown.. I added some pearls & my mat & layered coloured image. 

The image was coloured in with my promarkers & I added some punched & embossed butterflies.

Our theme this week is

 Swirls 

& we have lucky to be sponsored by the fabby

Dilly Beans & they are offering the winner a prize of some fab digis

& here is my make

I just love the style of these stamps & had a tough time picking which one to use, I finally settled on

Cinnamon Set, as well as the image it comes with some cute hearts & sentiments. 

My background papers are from a Debbie Moore cd - Foiled Flourishes. I layered onto blue cardstock. I then made a panel from the other paper & layered it onto red & then the blue. I used a punch to add a scalloped edge to a border & then added some more of the paper. I die cut some swirls & cut then down to different sizes. After colouring my image I layered it onto the same mats, before assembling the card & adding my stamped sentiment ticket.

My image has been coloured in with my promarkers, I am thinking I need to start adding flexmarkers to my collection now :)

For the hair I used: Burgundy, Cardinal Red & Ruby

For the skin I used: Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush & Baby Pink,

For the dress I have used: Marine, Duck Egg & Cool Aqua

My papers are from digikits & I used craftartist to crop them, it's a great way to only print what you need & save ink. I also used it to size my digi. Isn't he cute, he's called Lewis

I used a grey as my base card & for some of the matting too. My sentiment was stamped & cut out using one of my dies.

I used my promarkers to colour him up & added some faux stitching around the edge before matting onto more grey & assembling the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I am looking forward to seeing what you all come up with for our challenge.

My paper is from a Papermania pad I won a while back. 

I used my dies to cut some flowers, layered them up & added card candi to the centres. I also cut some strips of black & purple & added them behind my matt & layered image.

New Beginnings

& here is my make using Whimsical Hydrangea Sprite from Aurora Wings

I first used my hougie board to emboss a lattice background.

I then inked up some glossy cardstock in greens & pinks, heat set it & randomly stamped them before cutting various circles out of them

I then coloured my image using my promarkers, isn't she so cute, I so love her.

I cut some of the circles in half & arranged them on the base card, when I was happy with the layout I stuck them down, added my image, a few punched butterflies & some little gems.
