Color Throwdown- use colors Red, Purple and Yellow
Crafty Animals- Anything Goes
I'm under the wire for the Color Throwdown. I had a scrap piece of paper with a butterfly already cut out for a previous card. I liked the sprays I used which work perfectly with this week’s challenge. I took my distress inks and sponged on some more Color and glued it to gold paper. I cut out the butterfly with my sizzex machine as well as the underling panel that I coloured in the same colors and glued it in place. I added the ribbon, stamped the saying which I embossed in psychedelic glitter, and added the crystals. Before I go on. I am going to add this to their Color throwdown.

Simon Says- Anything Goes
I haven’t made a Christmas card in a while and had fun. I stamped Santa and had fun colouring him in using my tombow markers but with water. I cut it out with my die cut in my Sizzex machine and cut the red glitter card in those triangle look. I placed it in an embossing folder and rolled it through my cuddlebug machine. I took my green dye ink and lightly rubbed it on to bring out the design. I glued it all together but used pop up dots on Santa.

Ok, I think the first 2 challenges talk to each other…lol. The colours are quite similar and I used a dusty rose, light green, olive type green, light and dark pink and even a peach. I bought a 3D embossing folder and rolled it through my Sizzex. I coloured it with gelatos with my watercolour brush. I adhered it to the dusty rose card and then the white card. I glued on the pearl string to complete this. This is for a friend of mine who just lost her mom to dementia, probably pneumonia, but no matter what…it’s tough and now their dad is in his own and he is one lost puppy. Hope you had a good weekend. We had a long weekend due to Civic Holiday..very happy until I am back to work tomorrow.
These soft colors look beautiful together.
