Purple Christmas!

Hard to believe but I am now starting to make Christmas cards! Wow, the year has flown by! We are onto another challenge at Hooked On Craft Challenges and our challenge this time is 'Christmas - no red or green'. I have made a card for a friend who loves the colour purple, so I have made a nice purple and blue themed card. My image is one of the gorgeous stamps from La-La Land and she is called 'Christmas Elf Marci'. I have coloured Marci with copics and added lots of glitter and glossy accents. My 'wish list' is a stamp from Whimsy Stamps and I embossed it with pretty purple embossing powder. My corners are also from Whimsy Stamps and I cut them out with glitter paper (can't get enough glitter on my cards!). As always my beautiful flowers and rose buds are from the fabulous Hooked On Craft.

Please join us at Hooked On Craft Challenges for our 'Christmas - no red or green' challenge!

Spooky!

It's nearly Halloween so I thought I would share with you another Halloween card. I have used one of the Halloween cuties from C.C. Designs and coloured her with copics and added some glossy accents. Bizzy Bec's carries a range of the fab C.C. Designs stamps for a great price (along with a lot of other goodies!). My flowers are from Hooked On Craft and they were white but I coloured them with glimmer mists (love glimmer mist!).
Hope you like my card!

 

Pumpkins!

We are now onto another challenge at Whimsy Stamps and our challenge this month is 'all things sparkly'. I love sparkle so I had fun with this one! For my card I have used one of the gorgeous new digis from Crissy Armstong for Whimsy Stamps called 'pumpkin fifty cents' and I have coloured him with copics and added glitter to his pumpkin for sparkle. I have used glitter paper for my corners which I cut out using a corner die from Whimsy Stamps and I also used glitter paper for my swirl flourish from Magnolia. I also added sparkly paper and bling to my card.
