I decided to focus on the image by using all the colours I wanted there and kept to purple and black for the papers.

I designed the papers on the computer and printed them out. I blended distress ink around the edge of the card and on the card for the sentiment.

The sentiment is LOTV and I stamped that and a Forever Friends frame using purple ink.

Another card featuring my new Autumn Happiness digi. The colours are from gorgeous inspiration photos (see below).

I blended purple distress ink round the outside of the card and on the sentiment card. I ripped the textured purple paper layer. I made the leaf with orange cross stitch layer using Craft Artist on my computer and then used green distress ink blotted around the outside with a sponge.

I coloured my digi with Promarkers. I stamped my LOTV sentiment using purple ink onto my purple distressed card.

Used this lovely Winter fairy digi stamp for another Christmas card. I was trying to use up some scraps from previous cards in colours I don’t use so much.

I made the snowflake paper for a challenge and wanted to use it up. The light blue card was scraps. The card, image, sentiment and snowflakes are all different shapes to fit the challenges.

I coloured the Winter fairy digi with Promarkers and added some glitter using stickles. I stamped the LOTV sentiment and mounted it on a snowflake punched from scrap glittery blue card.

I made the snowflakes by punching 4 from green, rust and light blue slitter scrap paper. I also used disterss inks and a watercolour brush on white scrap paper and used that for the last snowflakes. I layered the snowflakes and added the blue embellishment from stash (kept forgetting I had them!).

I embossed the thin light blue scrap paper with snowflakes and highlighted with blue ink. I used a ribbon punch and threaded some scrap ribbon through. I added faux stitching with a Promarker and more embellishments.

From tea to leaves

With walks in the woods and all the challenges with great Autumnal colours and pictures you can hardly fail to be inspired.

I used the colour picker on CraftArtist to match the autumnal colours from the inspiration and colour challenge photos (seee photos at end of post!!) I then made the various leaf papers using the colours (using either leaf backgrounds coloured using my pallete or using the falling leaves brush). I then added the faux stitching on computer and colour matched it. I also played around and made the tag. I then printed the papers and elements off.

I stamped the tag with my LOTV Wishing you sunshine all year through stamp with brown ink. I used a clear brad and coloured it with Pumkin Promarker to match the card which I used to fix the tag. I had to swap the orientation of this for the layout I was using as it didn’t look right on the bottom right corner (hope that it is still ok for the challenge!)

I used the Autumn Hapiness digi stamp from Wee Stamps (so cute!!). I coloured using Promarkers and felt I did a good job of matching them for the colour challenge. I also tried colouring the background using a technique I saw in a Letraset demo on Create and Craft tv to hint at the sky and ground without using solid colour.

I was inspired by lots of challenges so I may as well enter them all! Thanks to all these challenge blogs for firing my imagination.

I wanted to make a card for a female friend who is very supportive and we enjoy chatting over a cup of tea. I thought a vintage/ distressed look was appropriate. I thik this is real girl power- the support we give each other!

I used a LOTV die cut but added in some extra colour using Promarkers in a couple of places and added  Background too. Papers were from stash and the cream card at the back was coloured using brown distress ink as were the edges of the card and die cut.
The ribbon is a beautiful brown and beige.
Not a colour combination I use mch but I like it for this card!

I realised a while ago that some of the packaging I was about to recycle would be perfect to use for card making. I decided that the matching bag with ribbon and tissue paper had great potential for a male card so I’ve put this together mainly using the packaging.
I’d like to enter it for CES challenge which is recycle and also for Birthday Sundaes button challenge.

Forever Friends stamp coloured with Promarkers.
Ribbons, tissue paper and papers from packaging.
Buttons, stars, gems and stickers from stash.
