Live every moment ...

Hello,
this card is a bit out of my comfort zone as it involves stamping and colouring which are not my forte, but I was inspired by a friend's card with really good instructions, so thought I'd give it a go. I was very pleased - and surprised - with how well it turned out! 

Card recipe

Black card for mats
Cream card for main layer and sentiment

John Next Door Dotty stencil and Square and Stitch Dot dies

Flower, leaf and sentiments stamps free with magazines

Tea Bag Distress ink for the stencil and edging

Memento black ink for outline stamping and sentiment

Gold metallic "gems"

Spooktacular!

Happy Halloween!

We've got a new challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog starting today, and lasting for about a month. The theme as always is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy apart from that pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the guidance in the side bar on the blog.

Here's my DT card, which will hopefully give you some inspiration - as it's October I thought Halloween!

Card recipe

Die cut square orange card mats to match the sentiment
Tonic cat and cobweb die cut from black card

Happy yellow Noel

Hello there,
This card is a rather unusual colour combination for Christmas, yellow, shades of turquoise and black to make it all pop. I find it hard to use these types of colours for Christmas but am quite pleased with this in the end.
