A Colour Challenge at Sparkle Creations

This week at Sparkle Creations we have a fun new challenge for you to play along with - it's a colour challenge using orange, white, yellow and black. This gorgeous image is Cowboy Josh - a fabulous image for any celebration and I felt he would be the perfect fit for this colour combo. I added a cowhide pattern to his chaps and the orange and yellow added the perfect pops of colour. I also rounded the corners of my card to add some interest as boys cards often need a little twist.

Don't forget to check out some more inspiration on the SCRS BLOG.

Spooktacular New Release in La-La Land

It's another wonderful release from La-La Land Crafts and today I want to introduce you to Scarecrow Marci - isn't she FABULOUS!!! I had so much fun colouring her up and creating with her. I wanted to give the whole card a Fall feel so added some changing colour leaves to the Scary Tree - a quirky idea but it seemed to work! And a pumpkin from the Pumpkin and Jack-o-Lantern die set adds a touch of Halloween.

It's a Bright Birthday in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are celebrating birthdays - BRIGHT birthdays! I just love yellow on cards and figured that would be the perfect way to start. I also love Heart Key Marci for 21st cards. The contrast with the green worked beautifully and finished everything off. Of course now I'm typing up the post with my photo here I realise I've forgotten to add the diamontes to the tag on top - ah well - I shall go do that now so they are in place when I give the card away ;)

Double Embossing at Sparkle Creations

This week at Sparkle Creations we have a fun new challenge for you to play along with - Double Embossing! This gorgeous image is New Year Emily - a fabulous image for any celebration. I used Frantage embossing powder around Emily to add some fun - it reminds me a bit of confetti flying around. My dry embossed panel sits on the right hand side of the card and acts as a great backdrop for my floral spray.

Using Tags in La-La Land

This week in La-La land we are using tags. I ran my tag through a steampunk embossing folder and backed it with black card and added a jumbo eyelet. I then popped on another embossed layer with a tear down the middle to show off the cog embossing. I added some cog die cuts and Steampunk Marci. I was really happy with how the pops of electric blue brought it all to life.
