Colour-Ween Fun for Simply Betty Stamps

Welcome to the second of my 2 cards for Simply Betty's Colour-Ween event for Halloween which is running throughout October. Betty created a set of 12 gorgeous Halloween images and then set a colour scheme for each one for the DT to follow. This is Monster Mouse and he's supposed to feature BLUE. The background paper is a digi paper but is sadly no longer available. The spider and leaf dies are from La-La Land Crafts.

You can find all of the new images HERE and check out our Facebook Page to see the DT's fabulous makes.

A Tartan Wedding

I made this card for a cousin's wedding in The UK and I can finally show it to you as i know they've received it. The groom is Scottish and his family tartan was going to appear prominently in the wedding so I wanted to incorporate it in their card. I used a photo of his kilt and printed it out to create the background paper. I also printed a small version of it so I could cut out a "kilt" and layer it onto my image over the original suit pants lines. Colouring the lower leg of the pants in skintones adds to the illusion he's wearing a kilt - thank goodness most of his legs are hidden behind the dress. 

I used a Kaisercraft embossing folder on the white circle - it's called "Stone" but in this context I actually think it looks a bit like confetti fluttering around the newlyweds:)

The image is Geeky Love Getting Married from Make it Crafty - there's a whole series of these fabulous characters covering many of life's memorable moments.

Colour-Ween Fun for Simply Betty Stamps

Welcome to my first of 2 cards for Simply Betty's Colour-Ween event for Halloween which is running throughout October. Betty created a set of 12 gorgeous Halloween images and then set a colour scheme for each one for the DT to follow. This is Vampy Vivian and she's supposed to feature RED - so even her bats are a little quirky wit their fresh new colour LOL. I have coloured her skin a little paler than I normally would, I believe vampires don't do so well in the sun and don't tan very easily ;) The background paper is a digi paper but is sadly no longer available. The spiderweb die is from La-La Land Crafts.

Aurora Wings Challenge #59

It's time for another challenge over at Aurora Wings and this time it's ...

Today I'm using the gorgeous image Dark Princess.  I'm not sure I've achieved too much darkness - this gorgeous image has such a beautiful face but evil CAN be beautiful too - otherwise many of our favourite fairy tales wouldn't work with their stunning evil female characters.

 Don't forget to check out the rest of the AMAZING DT inspiration on our BLOG. We also have a very active Facebook Fan Group with additional contests, challenges and inspiration.  We hope to see you there. 

You can find this image and more in the Aurora Wings Etsy Store or the Online Store.
