A Touch of Red

This weeks challenge on Less is More is A touch of Red

& here is my entry.

I used my background stamp with distress ink

& then stamped the flower motif from Paper Artsy in black

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment using the distress ink again

& finished with a die cut flourish.

A Challenge card

This is the sketch for this weeks challenge over on the Allsorts challenge blog

As I wanted to join in the challenge over at Dotties World which is Anything goes - Red I have combined the 2 challenges & used red mainly on my card.

I coloured the cute image with my copics & mounted it on the scalloped circle cut with my nesties & used my gel roller pen to do the faux stitching round the edge.

I added white buttons

and die cut snowflakes along with the merry christmas sentiment matted again in red card & raised on sticky fixers

and added the ribbon bow & pearls to finish ...............


I'd also like to enter this for the PB at Allsorts challenge - thanks Brenda for the heads up :-)

A LO Challenge

This is the layout that I've done for the second part of Lea's challenge over at Charmed Craft Talk.

The challenge was to pick a colour from the photo you were using & use just that colour for the LO, also to use stamping on your LO.

So I chose the red from the sign in my photo, then cropped the photo & printed out the sign slightly larger so that it was prominent & readable. I used my new monkey stamp - isn't he cute? I used my Sizzix dies to cut the frame round the photo (from vellum paper so I use vellum glue to stick) & for the flourishes as well which reminded me of the jungle vines as they curl ......................

See the monkey in the corner? The journaling is on the back :-)

As you can see here!
