LiM turquoise and lilac

Hi fellow crafters
Here is my entry for ttis weeks colour theme. I have used a tonic diecut in lilac/mauve paper and petal point pigment ink in turquoise. I have clear embossed the petal shapes to add some dimension and enhance the colour. The sentiment is set into an embossed circle that I made with a 10p coin as nothing else was to hand and the declutter process means I am unable to find things!! The added gems on the butterfly diecut are from a docrafts goody bag. This time I decided to decorate the envelop with toning ribbon and butterfly punchies.

Xcut butterfly die - a free gift with docrafts magazine - November 2014

hi fellow bloggers
I thought I would show another card with this die - I also used it in the last blog post. It is really pretty and not a bad size about 2" I think as I have used it on a 7" x5" card. This time I have gone for  pink colour scheme and apart from the die everything else is from my stash,
I have used a martha stewart punch pansy edger and topped it with a piece of patterned paper. The butterfly dies are layered and then given a brush of glitter glue [docrafts]. The senitment is a free stamp from craft stamper nthat was stamped with a petal point inkpad and cut out with a spellies nested scalloped circle.and the bow is made from waxed cord. The little butterflies on the envelope are made froma dovecraft punch.

I am entering it in the following challenge
In the Pink  - keep it simple

Starry, starry night

Hi fellow blogger - hope you sre enjoying your weekend and having time for crafting. The title is the theme for this weeks LiM challenge and I was tempted to add in something to do with Vincent Van Gogh after the song by Don Vncent [ showing my age Lol!]. But in the end conformed to a more traditional interpretation.

The sky is made using a sponge and Ranger distress ink - stormy sky. The stars are a docraft stamp from a xmas set stamped using silver brilliance ink - they look much better in real lfe as the silver sparkle - heyho doubt I will ever be picked for my photography skills :(. The sentiment is one by Barbara Grey and using the same ink as the sky. And the scorit was used to outline the sentiment.
Happy crafting.

LiM challenge

Hi fellow bloggers
Doesn't seem a week since I last posted but everything seems so hectic just now. Anyway this weeks LiM challenge is to make a christmas card in non traditional colours - no red and no green allowed! I have decided on a one layer card.

I used an old docrafts stamp and coloured with some kuretake pens I have had in my stash for over 6 years and hardly used but can certainly say that the quality of the ink is excellent as they were not dry at all and the colour flowed well. They are a mixture of art & graphic twin pens and brushables and both water based. The colours used are light/dark purple [in same pen], teal, orange and skin colour [although it looks like pale orange in the photo]. The sentiment is a rub on again from my stash. Still so much to use as I don't seem to be making much of a dent in it!!!
Happy crafting :)
