Hello my lovely friends and
visitors, I hope your week is going well.
I am having a bird stamp love affair and add bright, hot and zesty
colours to that then I am in my crafting heaven. Here is today’s card …
Back to A6 card size
A final look
Created for me and especially for these Challenges
Scrapy Land Challenge #48 Use a
stamp or digital image
I used Spellbinder dies
Sparkles Monthly Challenge #83
Lots of Layers
The Craft Barn Challenge Two Weekly Challenge use Blue/Blues
Tuesday Throwdown Challenge TT308 Make it Sparkle:
Sadly my photographic skills do not pick
up the bling on the die cut ‘happy’
I think you can probably tell
that I got to play with the Bright & Beautiful Spectrum Noir AquaTints on
this card. The orange and the colour
that is similar to peacock feathers are gorgeously hot and lush and I adore
them and I have to be honest I didn’t plan to use so many colours this just
evolved: whatever! I love it and I think
it works. I also used the yellow from this
set along with gold from the Essentials ATs to colour the die cut happy: you
should see the sparkle and shine on it – just beautiful!
For some reason I am back on
the mixed media fussy as well as MM CAS cards.
I have no idea where or why my moods and ideas come from but it is fun
and has stopped me from getting bored.
It was lovely to use the newer colours with an older stamp set and some
older designer papers it just made and makes me happy. I’m going from one extreme to the other –
very shabby or CAS. I’ve learnt to go
with the flow rather than fight it. Thank
you so much for taking the time to visit and comment. I really do appreciate it and I hope you get
some time to do what you love to do soon
