52 CCT Colour Challenge

Hello! Over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown we have a colour challenge for you.

 

 

I chose a combination of purple and silver to make a very simple little card that would be good for batch-making, I think. I started off with some SU speciality designer paper that I sponged with Perfect Plum ink and sprayed with violet Cosmic Shimmer spray (every card I make at the moment gets sprayed with this!!) The overall effect has such a lovely sheen. I haven't managed to capture that at all in my photo! I didn't really want to cover the background so I stamped a sentiment in silver ink on a piece of vellum and added some silver star and sequin bling.

 

 I hope that you will join us and be inspired by the rest of the DT's gorgeous creations. April x

Pretty in Pink

Hello! Here is a card that I have made for the Cards in Envy Pretty in Pink challenge. I would also like to enter it in Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 174.

I used SU's Saleabration vellum and the flower from the gorgeous Nature's Perfection stamp set. I coloured the back of the vellum with Promarkers and Copics and stamped the flower with black Stazon on some scraps of patterned paper. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's Time to Celebrate Additions and the enamel dots are Echo Park. I really enjoyed making it, although it's not a colour scheme I would usually go for.

I am a complete sucker for party bags! I have been over-thinking them for years. Our daughter will be twelve next weekend, so I have had to make a rather more sophisticated party bag! These have mini nail varnishes, nail files, stickers and of course, some sweets in them. I just need to get them all done!

Have a great week! April x
