Just glitter it.

Good  Morning friends,
This post is a little late in going out, as we had a storm last night with lots of lightning and so all the electronics were disconnected. I went to bed before we could put it all back, so I am a few hours late.
We had some very welcome rain with it, so am very grateful for that.

On to my project. The theme for challenge #83 at Let's Craft and Create this fortnight is Glitter.
As Christmas is getting closer and I am way behind in my cards and tags I decided to go for a Christmas tag this time.

 

This is what I used:

The tag was cut out of normal cardstock. I wanted a large one, as it will be used instead of a card on a gift. I Inked the edges and added embossing powder in places.
The lantern was cut out of mirror board...a Marianne design die.
The candle was brushed with pearl paint and the flame with gold glitter..also a Marianne design die.
Poinsetia is a Joycraft die,..all glittered.
Leaves are a Nellie Snellen punch.
Added a ribbon bow, floral stamens and a button to finish.

I just find it very difficult to photograph using mirror board.

Will be back to enter some challenges later.

Colour challenge with a difference .........

Good afternoon my friends.
Firstly, I want to say a big welcome to my new followers. So pleased that you find some inspiration here, and hope you will come  back often.

Now on to business. This week there is something very NEW and exciting at the colour challenge of The Outlawz.
Ina chose the lovely colour palette and inspirational photo this week.   Now this is how it works.

There is only one colour shown, and that is the colour you have to use together with 2 colours chosen from the photo. You determine your own twist.    Now isn't that just something.  When entering your card, you need to tell us which are the 2 colours of your choice and also what your twist is.
You can go and see the cards that DT have made, and the twist they chose...this was such fun!!

Our sponsor this month is QKR Stampede and some of the DT have used images from them.
I do hope you will make something and come and share with us.

Here is what I did.

My choice of colours was the purple and then I added turquoise and white.
The twist is to add ribbon.

Paper from a pad by Art Talent.
Turquoise and white flourishes ...Memory box die
Image from QKR called Fruit corner. Coloured with Distress inkpads, cut out and raised with silicone.
Added pearls and a bow which is the ribbon twist.

I am entering the following challenges:

Artistic Inspirations #67...Use a sentiment

Challenge #79 at Digistamps4Joy...midway reminder

Happy Wednesday morning friends.
We are halfway through our challenge #79 at Digistamps4Joy
whish is hosted by our talented DT member Charlene. She has asked us to use 3 DP and 3 layers on our card.

I hope you will go and check out the cards made by the DT and come and join in . Remember that you don't have to have a DS4J image to join in, but if you do then you get and extra chance in the draw

 I don't usually use that many different papers, so once again a challenge for me....but I guess that's what it is all about. So here is my card

 

 

The paper all comes form a pack Country Companions by DoCrafts. I matted each design with a pink cardstock.

 

The image is Rose Regalia, drawn by Margy and can be found  HERE. This time I coloured with twinkling H20's and added a touch of glitter to the bow, to match the glitter on the checked layer of paper.

I followed the Deconstructed sketch #125 for this card, just turned it on its side.

I stamped onto the ribbon for a change and added pearls.              No sentiment, will decide on that when I know where the card is going.

I hope you will go and check out the cards made by the DT and come and join in . Remember that you don't have to have a DS4J image to join in, but if you do then you get and extra chance in the draw.

 

Will be back later to check out some challenges for this card.

Did you know that DS4J also has a Rewards points system, earning points towards your next purchase For every $10 spent you earn $1 towards your next purchase. Now that's quite something isn't it!!

I have used the following:
Image is coloured with Distress inkpads, cut out with a Nestability die.
Patterned Paper is from a paper bloc 'Back in Time" from Joy Crafts.
I have used a Memory Box Die behind the image.

Sentiment is a Just Rite stamp and the words are computer generated.
