Sparkle Creations - A New Challenge

This week at Sparkle Creations we have a bright new challenge for you and something a little different from me - NEON - and I must admit this had me a little scared!!! The colours on the card aren't as vibrant in my photo as they are in real life unfortunately - the joys of photographing in Winter light - I really MUST get a daylight lamp!! The image I've used is Chit Chat Lucy. 

I hope since I managed to conquer my fears and give this challenge a go you will too - you can check out some more inspiration on the SCRS BLOG.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #206

At Magnolia Down Under Challenges we have been asking our DT for their favourite challenges and this week it's MY turn! I decided to go with Christmas in July as it holds a special place in my heart. My family began to cook a full Christmas feast in July long before it became popular. You see July is my birthday month and when we moved to Australia I went from having a Summer birthday to a Winter birthday. This also meant we had to celebrate Christmas in a hot Australian Summer. We decided my "special meal"  for my birthday would be a Christmas feast with ALL the trimmings as Winter is a much more pleasant time to cook and enjoy this fare.

Because it's not actually Christmas time now I thought I would use some non-traditional colours on my card.

Don't forget to see what the rest of our team came up with on our BLOG.

Copics used - Skin (E11, E00, E000, R20, R11) plus E18, E15, E13, T4, T2, T0, B34, B32, B000, B0000, YG17, YG07, YG06, YG01

Embossing in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are embossing. I decided to use both embossing powders and dry embossing. My background is made up of squares stuck onto white card and then the whole lot is embossed with an oriental style pattern - it's a bit hard to see here but it looks great IRL. The bridge has also been run through an embossing folder to add texture and then I've used some frantage shabby white embossing powder on it to give more interest and a bit of sparkle.

The background DP is a digi paper which I've also used on a smaller scale to paper piece Marci's top - being able to scale down patterns is a fabulous benefit of digi papers.
