Along whizzes another fortnight and it is time for a new challenge over at the Crafty Purple Frog. This fortnight the challenge is "
sparkle". Well that one shouldn't be too difficult as most of us like sparkle on our cards/projects.
For my card I have used the pyromage sheet called "
Night Rose". I decided to keep the colour scheme as black, white and purple. When I made a card recently and stamped the backgrounds I did two at once - a tip that I use - if I just stamp one background I seem to do something wrong and then have to start again whereas if I do two at once mostly everything goes fine and then I have an extra lot of papers to work with!!! The backing papers are from the scraps box. The book pages are a die-cut that I won in a challenge a while ago and I thought they needed to go on a card. I have inked all the edges of the paper and card as I hate seeing white edges. I have made the pyromage up with Pinflair glue gel so it isn't too high. The card has been finished off with some organza ribbon, Craftwork Cards sentiment, a gorgeous K&Co gem/pearl embellishment (I had an idea about these as I don't like the "sticky" between the linked gems as other things can stick to it - so out came my anti-static bag, brushed over the top and then I wiped over with a tissue to buff up and hey presto no extra sticky anywhere), flowers given to me by a crafting friend which I have rubbed Stickles into and a glass sparkly embellishment.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Emerald faeries -
Flowers, flowers, flowers
Top Tip Tuesday -
Bubble, bubble we are cooking up some trouble OR Top Tip - I am offering the Top Tip I mentioned above re the linked gem/pearl embellishments that you can get - I had an idea about these as I don't like the "sticky" between the linked gems as other things can stick to it - so out came my anti-static bag, brushed over the top and then I wiped over with a tissue to buff up and hey presto no extra sticky anywhere and a gorgeous embellishment to go on a card.
