Colour Inspiration and Summer themed cards


Originally, these cards were inspired by Creata Challenge #3,
which is based around a colour inspiration image.
I got so carried away by this theme, that I produced two cards.
I'm so pleased with the results that I am entering
my card into the current Spectrum Noir Challenge and
the 'Love to Create Challenge' Vintage or Shabby too.


 For this card I used:
Creata twisted easel card blank, mirror card, flower forming,
extra fine glitter, fabric flower embellishment
and papers.
I also used a tonic corner die, spectrum noir alcohol markers 
flower soft glue, DCWV 12x12 papers from The Linen Closet stack, 
Teresa Collins self-adhesive gems, two pins and a length of ribbon 
from my local haberdashery shop
and a digi stamp by Sherri Baldy



For this card I used:
Creata mirror card (to make a blank and mat and layer elements)
paper from a Creata paper pad, two embossed metallic 
 embellishments by Creata (that I coloured with spectrum noir green pens), 
spectrum noir alcohol markers, 
a length of ribbon from a local haberdashery shop 
and another of Sherri Baldy's lovely digi stamps

'Lots of Layers' Creata Challenge


My entry for the 'Lots of Layers' competition...


Creata mirror card, embossed metalic embellishments, fabric embellishment 
and a scrapbook basics embellishment. 
Plus, some pink bassill basics cardstock, some sentiment stamps 
and a 12x12 paper from the Grace Taylor 'Vintage' scrapbook pad.

This page will be going into one of my art journal/scrapbook/photo 
album books. Which, I do sometimes use
as the front of a card, but are mainly to refer back to 
when I've been playing around with something new. In this case the Grace Taylor papers.
